It is our experience that, whilst a philosophy can often be recited verbatim,
invariably few really understand the full implications of that philosophy on
their personal behaviour, let alone the supporting systems and processes.
Changing culture cannot be initiated with seminars, training programs,
motivational speeches and the like. It happens as a natural consequence of the
attitudes and actions being practiced by those at the highest levels of the
organisation. People look to see what is really happening and make their choices
accordingly.
So cultural transition is all about the philosophy of the senior team. It’s
about knowing what you stand for, what things you are going to nurture,
encourage, reward and reinforce. It is also about knowing what you are going to
confront – what you are prepared to hold each other accountable for. The hard
stuff that you are willing to call each other on.
Quantum Edge provides diagnostic tools to assess your current versus
preferred culture, and can test the level of alignment between your strategic
direction, your core philosophy and your associated structures and systems. We
provide tailored culture programs through to “one on one” coaching sessions to
fast track attitudinal change, and to create supports for the new
philosophy.
