Conducting a corporate culture development session

A session to assess the type of corporate culture of the organization and the formation of its value system.

Will help you if you encounter one of the problems:

There are difficulties in implementing changes; they constantly cause resistance from employees.

High percentage of staff turnover: If employees are constantly leaving the company, this may indicate that they are not satisfied with the atmosphere in the company, there are difficulties in the corporate environment.

Low indicators of motivation and involvement: Employees lack enthusiasm and motivation, the company is not able to involve them in the process of achieving corporate goals.

Low efficiency of communications: There are problems with communication between departments, the management team and employees, and the exchange of information in the company is disrupted.

There are no clear values, business goals are not formulated: If employees do not understand the company’s values or their formulations do not correspond to the real state of affairs, this often leads to disappointment and a situation of uncertainty.

Frequent conflicts: These occur between individual employees or departments, as well as with managers, which may indicate an inappropriate corporate culture.

Weak adaptability to change: The organization is extremely slow and inert when it comes to adapting to changing environmental conditions or responding to customer demands - all due to a non-adaptive or too rigid culture.

The company lacks development and innovation: Typically, this is hampered by overly strict rules and regulations.

The company pays little attention to the well-being and health of its employees: If employees do not feel that the company cares about their well-being, this can lead to decreased productivity and low motivation of the team.

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

Carry out a diagnosis in the management team of the type of existing corporate culture, as well as the “MEMEs”, attitudes and behavioral models that define this type.

1

Determine with the whole team in which direction it is desirable to change the corporate culture: agree on the type of culture to which you want to move, the corresponding “MEMEs, attitudes and behavioral models.”

2

Describe corporate values, focusing on preserving the best, getting rid of the unnecessary and developing.

3

Supplement the description of values with a list of recognizable examples of behavior.

4

Conducting the session:

All key managers of the organization participate. We are completely immersed in the process for all 2 days of the session. We use the OCAI (Competing Values Model) assessment methodology, as well as the theory of spiral dynamics. The session is led by an experienced expert who has been advising companies on corporate culture issues for more than 20 years. Participants do not need to prepare specifically for the session; they will gain knowledge during the session. The format of the event is educational consulting (not a seminar or training). Designed for a large number of team interactions.
