What We Do
Culture Diagnostics & Development
Culture eats strategy for breakfast.
Peter Drucker
To achieve a high performing culture of sustainable leadership means supporting leadership teams with the best possible learning and development interventions.
Our leadership development work begins with diagnosing our clients’ culture and values. Using a combination of qualitative interviews supported by analytics from Barrett Values Centre, we can build an accurate picture of our client’s current organisational culture. This helps inform which developmental interventions are required, for whom and with what goals in mind.
For clients who already have a clear understanding of their culture, we can move straight to developing a coaching or mentoring plan, depending on the needs of the executive or team and the specific goals for development.
Our team are qualified practitioners of Barrett Values Centre tools and analytics. Using Barrett tools, we support clients to diagnose organisational culture by implementing an inclusive survey that seeks the views of the entire workforce, whilst simultaneously carrying out qualitative interviews to achieve an accurate and wholistic understanding of the current and desired culture.
The results from the survey and our independent interviews enable us to develop a comprehensive picture of the organisational culture. Whilst completely confidential, results can be dissected by any number of variables including department, gender, age, length of service and ethnicity. This provides powerful insights to support accurate decision making when it comes to big-ticket strategic decisions.
Using the Barrett Model™ we provide insights into exactly where the workforce feels the organisation is currently and where it aspires to be.
Provides a deeper understanding of what motivates people in your organisation, an objective diagnosis of what is and isn’t working, and actionable insights with a clear path forward.
Correlates the results of consecutive Culture Assessments for an additional level of analysis: revealing trends, highlighting improvements, and flagging emerging challenges.
For individual executives or leadership teams keen to better understand their personal or shared values, our team use tools and assessments to provide highly valuable insights for senior managers wanting to achieve stronger self-awareness and better decision-making.
Combining Barrett analytics with one-to-one interviewing with our expert consultants, we can hold a mirror to teams or individuals and help them better understand their most influential drivers and motivations. For more information contact our team.
Once we’ve built a clear and accurate picture of the organisation’s culture, the next stage is culture optimisation. Transforming a culture doesn’t happen overnight, nor is it an easy process. It requires authentic commitment, broad consensus support from leadership and ideally the help of a qualified culture coach. This is why we’ve partnered with cultural transformation experts ‘The Engagement Coach’.
Sherrington Associates partner with TEC to provide our clients with end-to-end culture transformation, starting with diagnostics delivered by Sherrington’s team using BVC and 4A Model analytics, followed by transformation support delivered by TEC.
