Embedding & Maintaining Culture

A SOLUTION SET FOR LEADERS TO BEST MODEL AND UPHOLD CULTURE.

It has been said that when an individual enters a group, the group enters them. The culture of any organisation, although seemingly intangible, instructs those who are part of it on ‘how we do things around here’. It influences how, when and indeed what work gets done. Determines who fits in and is aligned with the business and equally who doesn’t and shapes the overall personality of the whole group.

Created by both the systems and processes an organisation uses, and the social dynamics between individuals and sub-groups, culture cannot be merely defined and acted out. During times of change in a business; for example, mergers, periods of growth and other strategic events, culture often becomes a focus of attention.

WHAT DOES AN IDEAL ALCHEMIST ORGANISATIONAL CULTURE LOOK LIKE?

We believe a sustainable company culture is established through an aligned community of individuals. Generating a productive and forward focused environment must focus on the people that make up the collective. By cultivating a setting that not only supports, but actively encourages self- awareness, innovation and empowered individuality, organisations can embrace the unique value of each person. With authentic, transparent communication, networks can become a space of positive encouragement, development and accountability.

Programme Summary

This solution set uses The Cultural Web as a basis for the learning and workshops, in order to expose cultural assumptions and dated practices. Additionally it supports the work needed to align organisational elements alongside the overall business strategy. A mixture of traditional theory, experiential practise and peer coaching are used to facilitate the learning, and programmes can be delivered face to face, virtual or in a hybrid manner.
