Application Social safety and culture

Turn the desired culture into concrete behaviour.

The occasion Shape culture change

The organisation knows which culture it is aiming for, but is looking for what that looks like in everyday work. For example from control to trust, or from risk avoidance to innovation.

What you achieve
  • Translate ambition into concrete behaviour
  • Employees as co-owners
  • Keep control yourselves

The approach 3 steps

From question to a next step people stand behind

We guide every step. What we mainly ask of you is substance: two meetings beforehand and a co-moderator during the session.

  1. Step 1

    Explore current behaviour and what influences it, where relevant.

    Example“When do you currently make a decision without first asking for permission?”

  2. Step 2

    Work out together what desired behaviour means in practice.

    Example“What does trust look like in an ordinary working week in your team?”

  3. Step 3

    Reflect on the progress and gather where adjustment is needed.

    ExampleHalf a year later: which behaviour do you see more often now, and what is still holding it back?
