Organizational Development
Culture by Design
Stop managing culture by accident. Start building it on purpose.
The Culture Challenge
Every organization has a culture. The question is whether you’re building it intentionally or inheriting it by default.
Default culture is the accumulation of unexamined habits, inherited assumptions, and reactive patterns. It might be fine. It might be quietly undermining everything you’re trying to accomplish.
Culture by Design means making conscious choices about how your organization operates, then building systems that make those choices automatic.
What This Engagement Includes
Culture Assessment
Understanding your current culture – what’s working, what’s not, where the gaps exist between stated values and actual behavior. This isn’t about judgment; it’s about seeing clearly.
Culture Design
Defining the culture you’re building intentionally. What behaviors do you want to be automatic? What values will you defend when defending them costs something?
Implementation Support
Building the systems that make cultural intentions real – hiring practices, onboarding, feedback mechanisms, recognition systems, communication patterns. Culture becomes infrastructure.
What the Engagement Looks Like
Culture by Design is scoped to your organization’s size, complexity, and the depth of change you’re pursuing. This is sustained work over several months, not a quick fix.
The investment reflects the scope involved: assessment, design sessions, implementation support, and tools your team can continue using independently.
