Core Principles

To support the cultural transfiguration process within your organization or system, we work with the following core principles, applying them across all of our professional services.

These principles have been developed by Transfiguration Advisory, drawing on some of the world’s most successful examples of culture evolution at scale. They are grounded in leading culture and change theory, backed by research, and rooted in real life experience working on culture with hundreds of organizations across geographies and industries.

The theory and research-backed approaches include insights from psychology, personal development, awareness-based systems change, organizational culture change, and ancient wisdom traditions.

Culture Is a Critical, but Not Always Obvious, Transformation Lever
  • Culture is one of the top three drivers of performance and employee well-being, and often ranks as the number one factor
  • Culture is difficult to measure objectively and, therefore, hard to manage. However, many organizations have cracked the code
  • Working on culture requires constantly bridging theory and practical experience
Amplify Existing Evolutionary Tendencies
  • Every system has progressive evolutionary tendencies in the form of people, teams, ideas and processes 
  • Identifying and supporting these tendencies accelerates the system’s evolution 
  • Taking a trauma-informed approach honors trauma as the system's intelligent response, though it often persists longer than needed, dissipating energy
Focus on the Acupuncture, or Highest Leverage, Points in the System
  • There is a small number of ‘highest ROI’ acupuncture points within any system 
  • These points are difficult to identify because the ability to see them is influenced by the culture itself 
  • They shift rapidly and can be different within months
Inject Awareness Into the System and the System Will Self-Correct
  • Shaping culture, especially in large systems, is highly complex 
  • Developing the system's ability to see itself builds capacity to process this complexity 
  • Raising awareness begins with the leadership team 
Work With Multiple Perspectives
  • No single perspective, no matter how strong, can fully understand a complex system 
  • A conscious choice of which perspectives to adopt is necessary for each situation 
  • Value emerges from recognizing patterns across perspectives, and MetaMindsets help frame this sense making process
