Culture change initiatives

If you are interested in using organizational culture to drive your business, there are several options available through Workplace Culture Institute.

Option #1. Invite Sheila for consulting support

Contact Sheila to guide you in defining, shaping and managing your organizational culture to drive change. Her firm Workplace Culture Institute is based in Atlanta, serving clients globally. Sheila works with companies to facilitate their organizational culture change initiatives.

Typically the process consists of conducting interviews and/or open-ended surveys with top management, and then using a closed-ended survey for all in the organization. The closed-ended survey is customized, based on the analyzed data from the interviews and open-ended surveys. Then at a facilitated session, Sheila brings together the leadership team to review all analyzed survey results and make decisions. Therefore, at the conclusion of the session, the leadership team has established and defined the core culture of the organization.

After the facilitated session, Sheila can provide consulting or coaching support for the alignment process. This involves conducting an Alignment Audit, creating an Alignment Plan, and implementing the plan for change.

There is less resistance to change when employees are participants in the process–not just recipients of the outcome. And when employees create their own plans for change, there is greater ownership for execution.

Option #2. Use the Building a Culture of Distinction workbooks

These workbooks are a do-it-yourself guide for conducting organizational culture change initiatives.

Use Building a Culture of Distinction: Facilitator Guide for Defining Organizational Culture and Managing Change to direct you in the step-by-step process for defining your Core Culture and aligning your organization’s Practices and Projections with the Core Culture.

The Facilitator Guide provides the questions to ask when conducting an organizational culture assessment. Additionally, it includes activities to uncover the Purpose of your organization, the distinctive and enduring Philosophy of your organization, and the strategic Priorities of your organization. Use this guide to lead the program for your organization. And be sure each employee has a copy of the Participant Workbook. To sum up, the Building a Culture of Distinction program helps you use culture to lead organizational change.

Option #3. Invite Sheila for coaching support

Don’t hesitate to contact Sheila to coach you through the process. You can take advantage of a team approach where you facilitate the process but you have the support of Sheila–through coaching, to analyze data you collect, and/or to give feedback as you go through the steps of the program. Have her guide you through the phases to build your culture of distinction.
