performance peaks when culture is aligned.
when culture is aligned…
Culture is the way we do things. It’s the secret sauce composed of ideas, attitudes, and individual outlooks blended with mission, values, and strategic imperatives. Just like people, no two cultures are alike. On the outside, culture can be seen through mission statements, vernacular, artifacts, and even the way people interact and treat each other. However, there is also a less overt side of culture that includes a deep set of shared assumptions, beliefs, and values.
Culture is quite complex, and its role in driving performance is significant. High-performing cultures drive growth, create an exceptional client experience, attract top talent, and retain valued team members at levels beyond their peers. Regardless of firm size or go-to-market strategy, culture is a catalyst for performance.
By evaluating cultural dimensions in high-performing firms, we learned that high-performing organizations have these things in common:
Continuous learning opportunities
A framework that promotes innovation and fail-forward attitudes
Client experience imperatives
Accountability and empowerment
Diversity of thoughts and ideas and value of inclusion
data driven strategy
Within the alignment atlas™ suite, we offer a culture assessment diagnostic tool. This tool was created using qualitative and quantitative research to pinpoint four key dimensions of culture: Visibility, Relationships, Unity, and Commitment. The alignment atlas™ culture assessment diagnostic gauges each dimension using survey input. With this data in hand, we can assess where a firm stands within the four cultural dimensions.
path to performance
With the alignment atlas™ culture assessment as the foundation, we work with you to create a data-driven culture strategy using our path to performance collaboration tool. In a collaborative strategy session, we map the future through an environmental scan, visionary brainstorming, strategy formulation, and action planning. The result is a cohesive strategy to address underperforming areas and create a high-performing culture.
