Your culture is your competitive edge. While most executives recognize this truth, many struggle to create environments where all perspectives are valued—and where inclusion fuels innovation and performance.

The gap between intention and reality often stems from missing the deeper cultural currents that truly drive your organization’s behaviors.

A critical moment for inclusive culture transformation

When an organization’s greatest asset is its people, your ability to assess culture objectively and proactively to manage risks and opportunities is essential to outperforming the competition and maintaining the confidence of shareholders, investors, and the board.

We cut through complexity to identify and strengthen the precise cultural drivers that deliver measurable business results.

Get an accurate picture of your culture 

Cultural data often lacks credibility and falls victim to a number of pitfalls: team bias, external influences, or fear of retaliation. Innovations in survey methods, advanced statistical approaches, and an emphasis on “psychological safety” help us calibrate culture in a way that is more comprehensive, nuanced—and honest.

Activate the most important agents of change 

Leadership is the single most important lever when it comes to changing culture. Changes from the top trickle down to every part of the organization, so that executives must both talk the talk and walk the walk in modeling the culture they want and expect. We help leadership understand and embrace its company culture and take steps towards improving it, as well as providing insights that can be incorporated into executive recruitment. 

 

Frequently asked culture advisory questions

What is culture advisory?

Culture advisory helps leaders intentionally shape their workplace culture to enable business strategy and drive performance. It combines organizational psychology, leadership expertise, and business acumen to assess current culture, define target culture, and guide transformation.

How do you measure cultural change?

We use a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to measure cultural evolution. This includes innovative survey methods, advanced statistical approaches, proprietary diagnostic tools, and an emphasis on “psychological safety” to help us calibrate culture in a way that is more comprehensive, nuanced—and honest.

What makes cultural transformation successful?

Successful cultural transformation requires active leadership engagement, clear alignment between culture and strategy, and systematic reinforcement through organizational systems. Our approach ensures these critical elements are in place and working together effectively.

How does inclusive leadership impact business performance?

Inclusive leadership creates environments where diverse thinking flourishes, leading to increased innovation, better decision-making, and stronger financial results. Our research shows that organizations with inclusive leaders are more agile, responsive to market changes, and effective at engaging their workforce.

How long does cultural transformation typically take?

While visible shifts in behavior can occur within months, sustainable cultural transformation typically requires 18-36 months of focused effort. Our phased approach helps organizations achieve early wins while building the foundation for lasting change, with regular measurement to track progress and refine strategies.

What role does inclusion play in organizational culture?

Diversity and inclusion are integral components of high-performing cultures. We help organizations move beyond standalone initiatives to integrate inclusive practices throughout their leadership approach, talent processes, and operational systems, creating environments where all employees can contribute their best work.

How do you align culture with business strategy?

We begin by clearly defining how culture enables your specific business strategy and competitive positioning. Through our proprietary diagnostic tools, we identify the cultural elements most critical to your success, then develop targeted interventions to strengthen these areas while addressing potential barriers.
