Leaders often ask...
Something isn’t right with employee engagement/staff morale/leadership. How do we fix this?
We are trying to create a specific kind of culture (proactive, collaborative, open-minded, etc.) but not sure where to start?
How do we build a strategy (5 year plan, mission/vision/values, or fiscal
objectives, etc.) that our people can understand and execute against?
The Answer Lies in the Building Blocks of ...
(Strategy)
that shows your people what to focus on and why
For your culture to power your strategy, we first need to know what your strategy is. We help you create and/or refine your strategy and document it. Next, we develop a communication plan so everyone, regardless of their level, understands your strategy. Then, we create individual performance plans to help your entire organization perform in alignment with your strategy.
Culture
that empowers them to excel and innovate
With a clear strategy in place, we ask “what kind of culture would we need to achieve our strategy?” To answer this, we analyze your existing culture in qualitative and quantitative terms. This shows us which of the 8 culture drivers across your organization design, leadership, performance & enablement systems, are negatively impacting your culture and creating performance-limiting employee behaviors.
Performance
that goes beyond this quarter's goal
The final step is shifting culture systems to build an intentional culture that powers your strategy. We guide your leadership through a step-by-step process of correcting systems so they fully align with your strategy and create favorable employee experiences. As your people feel more fulfilled, they demonstrate higher productivity and perform consistently to create sustainable profitability and excellence.
Using the Culture Equation, Jessica helps you understand how to create a strategy, and build intentional cultures that support strategy execution, overall performance and long-term profitability.

Our Four-Step Process
Build intentional cultures that power your strategy and accelerate performance.
Define and Communicate Your Strategy
Global studies show that only 5% of employees understand their company strategy. This is because strategy creation has traditionally been an absent or insular habit - companies continue to operate without a real plan or a small group of leaders meet in a boardroom to create one. Then, leaders demand that the frontline execute these plans that they may not be aware of, understand, or feel committed to. As a result, strategy execution fails.
-
In refining your existing strategy, or crafting a new one, we have a singular focus - a realistic, customer and revenue-centric plan that your key executives (and eventually your entire organization) can clearly understand, buy-in to and act on.
-
Next, we partner with your leadership to implement a communication plan so your entire organization, regardless of level, understands and commits to your enterprise strategy.
-
Finally, every individual at every level is empowered with a strategy execution plan that empowers them to align their daily performance with your overall strategy.

- Strategy Communication Plan
- Strategy Execution Plans
Assess Culture
Because culture is often described as the ‘way we do things’, managers often struggle with its ‘invisibility’ and ‘softness’. As a result, they fail to see and harness the power of culture to drive strategy execution.
-
With a clear strategy in place, we ask “what kind of culture would we need to achieve our strategy?”
-
Our ‘culture baseline’ analysis shows which of your 8 Culture Dynamic Drivers are negatively impacting your culture and creating performance-limiting employee behaviors.
-
Then, we clearly outline your ‘Culture Targets’ i.e. where your culture systems need to be to fully support the execution of your strategy.
Tools
- Culture Baseline
- Culture Target
Accelerate Performance
Culture-building is often misrepresented through costly tactical benefits that leaders ‘give’ their employees - perks, free lunches, and company-sponsored happy hours. Leaders believe their employees should ‘give back’ with stellar performance and get frustrated when execution fails despite these high-cost initiatives.
-
Our first step is an actionable ‘Culture Growth Plan’ that shows your leaders exactly what needs to change to create a culture that supports your strategy.
-
We guide your leadership through a step-by-step process of correcting systems so they fully align with your strategy and create favorable employee experiences and performance.
-
As your people feel more fulfilled, they demonstrate higher productivity and perform consistently to create sustainable profitability and excellence.
Tools
- Culture Growth Plan
(Re)Invest in Culture Resilience
Culture is not an annual event. It is a measure of the perennial health of your organization. Yet, it is rarely measured, and almost never re-measured. Organizations who ignore periodic culture assessments risk a ‘culture slide’ - over time, they regress to the ‘culture baseline’ and are unable to sustain peak performance at the frontline.
-
After 6 months of our initial engagement, we analyze your new culture to quantify culture growth and erosion relative to your starting point.
-
We help your leaders quickly address challenges that remain, and/or new culture gaps that may have emerged.
-
Finally, we train and/or re-train organizational sponsors and ‘culture agents’ to ensure lasting cultural resilience and enterprise excellence.
Tools
- Culture Baseline
- Culture Target
- Culture Growth Plan
