Recent Work On Culture in the Workplace

The confidential nature of the work i do with clients, does not lend itself to me making detailed information public. However, I have listed here, in general terms, some recent workplace culture initiatives i have undertaken for clients.

Culture Mapping

Mapped the culture for a large internal professional services organizations spread over four contents to evaluate their cultural differences and degree of alignment.

Lifting Engagement

This project required the senior managers and branch managers in this organization in Cultural Pathways to leverage their employee engagement and increase staff retention by over 300%.

Knowledge Transfer

In this project we trained 22 people in the organization in Culture Planning. The client is focussing their efforts on mapping the cultures of various internal departments to identify ways to resolve silo conflicts. The client is also using the same approach to build its employment brand proposition.

Keynote

I spoke at the Sydney and Auckland TED X conferences on “Why companies are failing at culture.” The talks were very well received and key points I made during the talks were met with spontaneous applause. I also spoke to a standing room only gathering of C.E.O and Directors on “How to leverage culture during tough times”, for an event on behalf of Kerridge and Partners.

Culture & Strategy Alignment;

Ongoing work with a large Australian legal firm to map their culture, educate their leadership team and align their culture to their growth strategy.

Focussing Sales

I am currently working with two separate organizations to create a deliberate and focussed sales culture. Both organizations are responding to changing economic circumstances and are committed to building what I refer to as a “ Ferocious sales culture”. This is not ferocious in a violence context but Ferocious in a tribal context. In this context Ferocious means to surrender your fears. Or in sales lingo, Handle your own objections before you meet and manage the customers!
