Addressing the Failure Rate of Change

If you’re like most companies, you have attempted dozens of change initiatives which faded into the sunset with little sustained benefit.

In fact, conservative studies show approximately 75% of these initiatives fail to produce the expected results. Training and IT implementations are at the top of the list.

Worse, often the result is greater cynicism and increasingly dysfunctional ways of working among masses of confused employees.

This is usually a sign that the underlying systems and structure of ineffective work practices, beliefs, and assumptions was never addressed.

Company Culture has a DIRECT and DRAMATIC impact on Bottom Line Results

The way most people talk about “culture” doesn’t have much to do with business. For most leaders, it is a fluffy and mysterious concept for PhD psychologists (or maybe cocktail parties).

Our mission is to change that.

In business, the term is typically used to:

1) Describe people acting people act in ways that don’t make sense: “That’s just our culture.”

2) Explain the reason why your company can’t get anything done: “Our culture makes it hard to ________________.”

Not much value in that conversation.

If we’re going to use the “C” word, we’re going to use it to talk about what will help you systematically improve performance.

We define culture as: “Management and work practices which are either HINDERING or HELPING your strategy and bottom line performance.”
