The approach we follow is based on 5 principles and metamindsets. We will go on a journey to explore what is needed to bring these mindsets to life across your organization or system. This is never a linear process, and requires listening and responding to the unfolding cultural dynamics.
Cultural evolution is a process. Just like all the other signature processes in your organization or system – setting your priorities, allocating funds, selecting projects and employees/contributors, compensating them, and so on.
It needs everything any other process in your organization needs– a cycle with a beginning, middle and an end, people responsible for stewarding it and involvement of a broader group of employees/contributors in your organization or system.
Most organizations run most processes on an annual cycle – with a diagnostic at the beginning to understand where we are at the time, and how we have moved over the past year (regardless of if your data collection is continuous or single/annual). A selection of cultural priorities that will make the biggest difference to your culture at this time. And a group of people who will own and implement these priorities. We call these annual cycles ‘waves’.
We would start the wave by conducting the 4 week Culture Catalyst Diagnostic. You can learn more about the diagnostic approach, process and team here.
After the diagnostic is complete, coaching support will be provided by a lead consultant to your culture sponsor and culture leader to help implement next wave of your culture journey over the just over 11 months that follow. Additional expertise, when needed, can be brought in from the savant network, as well as from our broader network of partners.
In addition, we would hold quarterly celebration and sensing sessions. These sessions are an opportunity to witness and celebrate the exciting developments of the previous 3 months, and senses into what is being called for in the next 3 months.
The foundation of this team is your internal culture team. Without an empowered, passionate, and capable internal team – the foundations for a culture journey are not in place. For the team to be empowered, they need to work with the organization’s leader, the leadership team, the influencer network, and the functional owners of the specific culture initiatives.
The culture team may be make up of many leaders and contributors, however two roles are critical. The first is the role of the Culture Sponsor. This is a senior leader who has a deep understanding of the business, industry and organizational dynamics – and is often the founder or CEO. Sometimes this role is taken up by a former founder or CEO/Chairman. In a DAO this role can be taken up by a long standing/active contributor who has the right profile – regardless of weather he or she has founded the organization. The role of the sponsor is to steward the cultural evolution of the organization or system.
The second role is the Culture Lead. This individual knows how the organization works, is able to get things done, has a deep understanding and experience working on culture. He or she may already official the head of the culture team, function or project. In a DAO, he or she would have been part of the team that defined and coded the culture, values and purpose of the organization.
