Culture Development

Chambers & Associates works with the clients to assess current team and organizational culture and to shape it to align with strategy and goals.


The Need for High-Performing Cultures

A high performance culture is critical for building employee commitment and engagement, acting with speed and agility and driving and sustaining growth. It is characterized by:

  • A clear, compelling, communicated corporate purpose to shape business decisions, generate customer loyalty and inspire employee passion and maximum contribution
  • Shared organizational values that guide people as well as influence business practices and decisions as the organization delivers on its promises to all its stakeholders
  • An environment that identifies the levers and supports the leader’s role in shaping and changing culture.

  


Culture can be defined as, “the values, underlying beliefs and assumptions that guide action and are learned and shared by members of groups as they strive to fulfill their purpose.”(Edgar Schein). Simply put, culture is often referred to as “the way things get done around here”(Deal & Kennedy).
