Defining your Culture Essence - Workshop
When organisations look at developing a Culture - it is generally modelled on Cultures that are observed in other companies. Sometimes it reflects an evolution of what exists.
Often the relevance is tied to outcome 'desires' rather than a well conceived strategic approach which delivers against business needs.
The Culture Essence workshop forces participants to think about and agree on many aspects of the business and its performance needs.
By defining the needs of the business and translating them into a Strategic blueprint we create a unique focus for the business that ties all aspects of the operation into a Culture focus.
Purpose
The Culture Essence workshop creates a very strong starting point for the creation of a potent Corporate Culture. It unites management in a focus for both the Business and the Culture.
Benefit
Ultimately the Culture Essence workshop delivers a business focus that aligns all aspects of the Business and leads to driving Corporate Values and Behaviours. It's power goes way beyond Culture.
Format/Duration
The workshop is a facilitated process. It engages front line management in a challenging discussion process about the organisation and what will improve it.
Humming uses this session to gather and prioritise data to write the Culture Essence.
There are three components to this workshop.
1. One-on-one interviews with each of the participants. [This happens a day or two before the facilitated workshop]
2. The workshop which is a full days structured facilitation
3. The response presentation [approx 2 hours with discussion] This is where the articulated Culture Essence is presented to the participants for approval. It is also a starting point for implementation.
What clients say
Most clients agree that this process goes a lot further than defining the Culture Essence. In fact they would agree that the outcome is a concise document that gives the organization clarity of purpose and focus.
