Building Effective Organisational Cultures

The culture of an organisation is crucial and important since it’s the glue that holds it together as a source of identify and distinctive competence. It has pronounced effects on workforce behaviour and performance, and is more important now than ever as organisations recognise intellectual assets, as well as physical assets, as important sources of value. Maximizing the value of employees as intellectual assets requires organisations to be strategic and proactive in shaping their cultures.

There is no ideal culture for any one organisation and no particular culture can be viewed as ‘the best’. Culture is dependent on the organisation’s history and operating environments. INTUS works collaboratively with your management team to help them define and own the culture they think the organisation needs in order to achieve corporate objectives. Together we investigate the relationships between the organisation’s goals and aspirations (Culture), the attitudes and beliefs held by staff (Climate) and the effects of these in the workplace(Behaviour and Performance). We then help them pinpoint what can be done to shape the attitudes and behaviours of the people they depend on inline with their culture goals.

Improving Business Strategy and Performance

Is everyone in your organisation facing the same direction, working together and edging closer to the ‘light on the hill’? Or are they all going their own way, working in silos and missing effective management opportunities? If you answered yes to that last question maybe it is time you re-examined the strategic course you’re setting for your business! INTUS can help guide the direction of your organisation, department, or team. We can assist you to understand the current position that you’re in and identify possible avenues through which you can pursue more effective paths. We draw out the insight and wisdom of your workgroups and key stakeholders as they solve strategic problems and identify organisational, departmental, and/or team development opportunities.
