Cultural innovation means first and foremost making existing patterns visible. Culture cannot be imposed. Through new routines, values, and meaning orientation, as well as changed behavior, changed decision-making premises, and programs, change becomes tangible, and the positive experience of this then gives rise to new behavior. We work with you to create conditions that support a lasting behavioral change and new positive experience. This gradually results in a changed culture.
After just two days of cultural workshops, you will see a clear picture of your cultural strengths and blockages. Mini-interventions - known as “culture hacks” - use simple measures to create noticeable and tangible changes in everyday life within a few weeks. For example, you can set up a (digital) purpose wall where employees share stories where the purpose impacts their business doing posivitely - this strengthens identification. Or you can ask in each team meeting to share a “mistake” along with the “learning” gained from it. This strengthens psychological safety.
Leadership is the number one lever for cultural change. That's why we work closely with company management from the outset, developing shared mission statements and reflecting on behaviors. Without role models in leadership positions, cultural change cannot take root in the long term.
Personnel development is a driver and enabler: we involve HR in all phases from the outset - from analysis to measures to consolidation. HR is a partner in the transformation, not just a companion.
Resistance is normal. That's why we start small, with pilot measures and interventions that make success and meaning tangible. In this way, acceptance grows gradually through participation and growing positive experiential knowledge.
We work systemically and observe patterns of communication, organizational behavior, and decision-making. Culture develops in loops - through observation, intervention, reflection, and re-adjustment. This is not a one-time campaign; rather, we work with you to design a dynamic organizational learning process.
