VALUES-BASED ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE LEADERSHIP

 

You are a senior leader who wants to move your team or company culture in a more positive, aligned and productive direction.

In today’s quickly changing times where innovation and collaboration are required to stay relevant, it is key to have a true way to engage people, a way that creates a win-win for the organization in terms of productivity, results, and ROI and for the individual in terms of meaning, fulfilment and compensation.

This only happens when organizations take values and strengths of their team members into consideration. This informs how the business acts in pursuit of its goals, how it recruits, develops, rewards, and promotes people, how it creates its processes, and how is sustains team productivity, collaboration, innovation, stakeholder relations, and ROI. According to Richard Barrett’s research, values-based organizations outperform companies on the S&P 500 as well as the Good to Great companies identified by Collins (Barrett, 2017).

Creating a Values Based Organizational Culture (VBOC) with Spark Success’ 3 Point Approach

We takes a 3-Point Approach – systems thinking, appreciative inquiry, and values-based alignment – to organizational culture initiatives.

First, with leadership, we clarify the goal.

From there, we use interviews, surveys, and/or assessments to understand the organization as it relates to the goal taking a birds-eye view of the organizational system and inter-related systems to identify key high-leverage changes that will create the desired shifts.
