CultureWork - Building Teams from the Inside
Your People Hold The Key
Creating the conditions for success by giving your team the confidence and freedom to succeed.
Every organisation's success is the result of its culture, which results from all its conditions, people, and experiences. Like a cake, once baked, you can't change it. If you want a different culture to emerge in your organisation, you must start with the core ingredients, which start with people.
If you want to change your employees into an army that thinks on its feet, CultureWork is the perfect framework to achieve this.
An army is aligned with a clear and shared purpose and vision. Each individual understands these and knows they are expected to contribute their skills, passion, knowledge, information, and energy to achieve them.
Creating the culture of an army that thinks on its feet starts with clearly communicating the purpose and vision so that everyone in the team understands the challenges ahead and how they can contribute to the solution.
Once implemented, CultureWork becomes a transformative way of being designed to continue to be applied after the initial intervention by everyone involved. Every
CultureWork engagement is unique, creating bespoke solutions for each organisation. And because we work with and through your teams and teams of teams, there is a high return on capital invested.
Every CultureWork engagement starts with one team, proves itself, and is then repeated with the next team and the next. This minimises disruption to the entire business, quickly proves your unique bespoke solution, and can be rapidly rolled out to more teams.

Where do we begin?
CultureWork is delivered through a series of workshops that are repeated team by team. This approach reduces resistance because the teams are establishing the conditions that will deliver the required outcomes themselves. We include training facilitators so that this work can become a viral transformative process that becomes self reliant and sustainable. The workshop offerings include:
1. One-Day Workshop: Establish Core Criteria – Senior Management team

3. One-Day Workshop: Establish New Relationships and Structures of Communication - SMT & HODs
- Develop new structures of communication that build effective relationships vital to organisational cohesion.
4. Ongoing Support and Development: Train, coach and mentor the implementation team and provide ongoing support as required.
