Create A High-Performance Culture
As you know – the main driver that determines how well you make your products and services, win new clients, deliver exceptional client experience, and the levels of productivity that impact your profit margins are all determined by your organisational culture.
We all know organisational culture and motivation are crucial variables in every organisation. Crucial because these variables directly influence employee performance, e.g. the personal desire to go the extra mile, be accountable for an agreed result, and provide exceptional client service – or not.
“Edgeview’s ability to provide me continuous support on productivity enhancement, business process outsourcing and executive coaching in the one conversation was outstanding”
Therefore, the whole organisation’s effectiveness, performance and sustenance – is influenced by its culture.
We agree that organisational culture is the organisation’s orientation towards its employees and customers and includes written and verbal circulated rules that guide each employees’ behaviour, values and principles developed and shared within the organisation.
Culture is Critically Crucial
Organisational culture influences behaviour, decision-making, organisational strategies, individual motivation and corporate performance.
The extent employees learn and embrace organisational culture varies and is determined, partly, by the organisation’s culture being either weak or strong.
Because of its strong influence on organisational success, leaders must develop the ability to define and then shape the “best” culture across the organisation, based on the creative mindsets of accountability, partnership, and targeted behaviours.
Culture Strengthened
Edgeview is experienced in enhancing and shaping corporate culture.
We work with leadership teams to undertake a multifaceted culture-transformation – that centres on the best elements of current capabilities & behaviours as well as the desired new capabilities and behaviours.
This includes the following steps:
- Working with the leadership team to have all employees adopt new behaviours and capabilities after researching and benchmarking capabilities and behaviours displayed by organisations seen as role models;
- Arranging regular sessions with the leadership team to role model the new mindsets and behaviours;
- Nurturing understanding and conviction in a highly interactive way, and being inspired by the energy and ideas of frontline teams;
- Implement reinforcement and reward mechanisms in the organisation
- Building new mindsets and capabilities across the organisation, including among those who do not formally manage people, and weaving learning into daily activities to become true learning organisations;
- Build a team of managers who coach, to help employees navigate the new way of doing things, supported by a leadership-transformation team.
- Get the leadership team engaged in developing its capabilities.
- Create an immersive leadership experience to introduce the new mindsets and capabilities and roll it out to all leaders.
- Roll out the leadership capability building at an agile tempo, with quarterly pauses to review the leadership experiences, experiments, and culture shifts over the past 90 days, and then finalise plans and priorities for the next 90 days.
