Making culture transformation simple, concrete & impactful
While we leap into a new world of organizations and enrich the world we work in, we are also here to enrich each other’s lives.
We are the go-to community of like spirited changemakers who believe in the power of relationships and collaboration. We started out because transforming the world of work is a job we need do together. We do not distinguish between clients, partners, employees or competitors, we are all part of the same ecosystem.
Our approach for sustainable change
Become aware of what is
Making the unconscious, conscious. And making the intangible, tangible. That’s where we start. We use dialogue, interviews and measurement to understand what works and what doesn’t work in the organization. From there, we define the need for change.
Co-create the change together
We believe in the power of co-creation and aim for a transformation that is desired and supported. In dialogue with a wide group of employees, we define what the dot on the horizon should be and what is the best way to get there. Together we sketch a program plan.
Move from mind to heart & hands
We make our programs tangible and concrete. Organizations don’t transform, people do. So, we give a clear answer to ‘’What do people need to know & learn to embrace this transformation?’’ and ‘’How can we capture change in habits and behaviors?’’
Ignite a movement
When the direction is clear, it is time to engage and develop. Development programs are a combination of strong leadership development, development and gathering a (growing) number of ambassadors’ and co-creating symbols and rituals together.
Root in day-to-day workplace
Change is reinforced and sustained by deeply rooting it in the workplace. In the last step, we translate habits & behaviors to all touchpoints in the employee journey, to meeting structures, team arrangements, rituals and agreed roles and responsibilities. We translate the intangible (mindset, purpose, values) to the tangible (process, structure, strategy, goals).
