Culture Change
Workplace cultures evolve from personal beliefs and experiences created by the organization's leaders. S&V believes that leadership must first understand the current culture before being able to assess and outline the culture desired. This assessment includes weighing all aspects and possible fallout of achieving the newly defined culture. Majority of stakeholder buy in is key to ensure unwavering understanding of where the client wants to take the organization and to assure there is a well thought out plan.
A two-day retreat facilitated by the S&V team will assist the client and key stakeholders chosen by the client (example: administrative leaders, board members, community leaders, and key staff) to develop a Culture Plan inclusive of:
- Assessment of the current culture
- Development of a plan for not only desired results but anticipated effects of change.
- An understanding of the challenges leaders will encounter, and the commitment necessary in creating a new culture is key to successful transformation.
- Development of a Mission Statement, Vision Statement, and Values creates a theme upon which leadership can build a culture.
- Communication plan to assure all stakeholders work together in achieving the mission and vision of the organization.
- Training plan for leadership and staff.
- Accountability plan to assure follow through.
S&V will design the agenda with client approval; assist in planning and issuing invitations; assist in coordinating the event (based on client budget); and facilitate the retreat.
