CULTURE
Crafting cultures worth celebrating.
A strong culture doesn’t just happen. It’s created.
People want to be useful, creative, autonomous, and responsive. And most companies have big and bold aspirations they want to bring to life. But let’s face it, a lot of work environments aren’t set up to meet employees’ needs or support an organization’s future goals. That disconnect is our sweet spot.
We use design thinking—a framework for reimagining the way work gets done—to reshape beliefs and norms, reimagine processes, and align reality with aspirations. The result? More satisfied human beings working in a culture that embodies an empathetic mindset, encourages collaboration, challenges the status quo, and inspires bold leadership.
Culture Outcomes
Across Industries
Reimagining Career Development for an International Online Retailer
The HR team of an international online retailer wanted to be 100% employee-centered. After engaging with nearly half of their workforce, we helped them reimagine how HR serves its employees by:
Helping design new team norms.
Transforming their approach to career development.
Reinventing their value proposition to employees.
Creating an approach that’s more proactive, attentive, and aspirational than their previous, more traditional model.
Evolving Process and Collaboration for a Luxury Fashion Brand
A luxury fashion retailer needed new creative approaches to customer engagement and collaborative design. Through a series of design thinking projects, they discovered eight specific changes they intended to make as an organization. For example:
Using empathy to engage customers regularly, inspiring product design from the beginning rather than the end of the design cycle.
Implementing a new approach to collaboration to allow for more unique voices to be heard and healthier ways to navigate conflict.
Measuring Team Effectiveness at an Employee-Owned Health Insurer
An employee-owned health insurer needed help improving the dynamics between 13 multidisciplinary teams faced with tackling ambiguous challenges. Over a 10-week period, teams learned to:
Use a measurement tool to gauge their progress on a weekly basis.
Improve and adjust collaboration by honoring diverse perspectives, holding tension, balancing workload, and showing early, unpolished work.
