Organizational culture & Leadership strategies

with HR4Business
All your people play a part in your purpose and transformation
Organizational culture is the company’s DNA. It’s what makes a company unique and able to act differently even when it needs to reinvent itself. Culture is embedded in people’s values, mindset, assumptions, visible or intrinsic attitudes and behaviors.
When suitably aligned with your company purpose, business goals, strategies, and leadership, your organizational culture supports your growth, increases employee engagement, and builds your brand – it becomes a strategic differentiator. When suitably managed, it helps you develop an organization that will thrive in even the most demanding times. So culture is among leaders’ pillars in their pursuit to sustain their organization.
Organizational culture programs and leadership strategies provide strategic and long-term support to Boards, CEOs, HR professionals, and leaders across the entire organization. The purpose is to articulate a cultural profile, inspire mindset shifts, and spark the desire to do things differently and the energy to sustain purpose and behavioral transformation at scale.
What we do: Elevating potential
When you design, develop, and take care of your culture in the right way, everything else follows.
Through our organizational culture programs and leadership strategies, you shape, energize, or redesign your culture, ensuring it elevates your organizational potential and supports you in achieving sustainable competitive advantage. Attract and retain diverse people in your teams, motivate and empower people to collaborate and innovate, inspire them to go the extra mile, and align people and resources to advance your business goals.
Organizational culture design and development
The organizational culture that fits you

Organizational culture intervention programs

How we help
Our organizational culture programs and leadership strategies consist of specialized design, development, implementation, and guidance based on organizational psychology and human behavior knowledge, research-based insights, and hands-on experience.
We use our systemic approach and tailor it to your needs and unique context to enable you to transform behavior at scale and align culture with strategy and leadership. We help you in an open and safe climate to design, develop, and take care of your culture by balancing your people and business goals: the organizational design that fits you, leadership strategies, behaviors, and mindset.
We connect organizational culture with business improvement initiatives
We work with you to ensure that your purpose, strategy, leadership, structures, and culture are interconnected. With these efforts aligned, your culture provides a more fulfilling climate for people and contributes to delivering better bottom-line results.
We support organizations to focus on transformations that matter most
Research indicates that it’s possible to meaningfully change no more than five aspects of an organization’s culture in a 12- to 18-month period (McKinsey, 2012). We work with you to define your focus.
We support organizations to invest in their culture for growth and performance
Transforming a company’s performance requires transforming the organizational context in which its people grow and perform.
What to expect
Our approach to organizational culture programs and leadership strategies is based on tailor-made solutions.
Perhaps you want to increase organizational effectiveness and performance, introduce or adopt new processes and structures, transform the culture, rethink the company’s strategy. Or you’re preparing for strengthening the collaboration between various departments, managing a merger & acquisition, or a stakeholder change. Either way, we work together to ensure your hard work integrates both the people and the business and sticks in the long term.
