Build powerful cultures
Powerful cultures drive organisational success when they are aligned with vision, mission and leadership. Successful cultures know their values and live them - they embed values in behaviours that are modelled by leaders and become 'the way we do things around here'. Building powerful, aligned cultures involves measuring and diagnosing the culture and its underpinning values, developing a desired values-driven culture, aligning leadership behaviours and building teams that live the values. See examples of our work building powerful cultures under these key headings:
