FAQs

Can you really change culture?

Yes. But it’s not easy. You’ll need to roll up your sleeves and dig in for the long haul. It starts at the top. So the organization’s leaders need to decide whether they’re ready to lead by example.

How do we know what culture we currently have?

You talk with people. Ask them “What’s valued around here?” Have them describe the people they think are most successful. Also pay attention to tough decisions that bring important values into conflict. Do they typically get decided the same way?

How would we use you on this sort of project?

Culture change work is all about partnership. It’s hard to be much help if we are just popping in and out as you see a need. We’ll stay off-stage, but need to work alongside you every step of the way.
