Driven By Purpose

Getting the best people into the most important roles does not happen by chance; it requires a disciplined approach to aligning purpose with business objectives. Defining not only how the organization creates value but how top talent contributes to its success.

The recent pandemic underscores the urgency for a more dynamic talent and work model. Now more than ever, clarity in purpose is not a choice but a necessity. For nearly two decades, we have helped some of the worlds most trusted companies take bold actions to align purpose, business objectives and strategy. Allowing them to define and explain “who we are” and as an organization, “how we operate”, and “how we grow”.

Think deeply about talent

Organizations that can reallocate talent in step with their strategic plans are more than twice as likely to outperform their peers. To link talent to value, the best talent should be shifted into critical value-driving roles. That means moving away from a traditional approach, in which critical roles and talent are interchangeable and based on hierarchy.

By leveraging analytics, assessment, and development, we help establish cultural priorities to ensure that the best people into the most important roles require a disciplined look at where the organization really creates value and how top talent contributes.

Create the best employee experience possible

Companies know that a better employee experience means a better bottom line. Successful organizations work together with their people to create personalized, authentic, and motivating experiences that tap into purpose to strengthen individual, team, and company performance.

We work with management to plays a crucial role in forming employee experience, building a culture of performance, accountability and teamwork while reinforcing a positive and resilient mindset. Over the past decade, the companies we have partnered with not only built positive employee experience but have continually outperformed their peers.

Strengthen leadership and build capacity for change

Suppose culture is the foundation for exceptional financial performance. In that case, culture change should be business-led, with clear and highly visible leadership from the top, and execution should be rigorous and consistent. Research has shown transformation more than five times more likely to be successful where leaders have role-modeled the behavior changes they were asking their employees to make.

To reinforce an organization’s identity and purpose, we work with management to address, clarify and clearly communicate:

• How the business develop an energizing sense of purpose that has a tangible impact on our strategic choices and ways of working?
• How can the business identify key talent roles and focus them on creating value?
• How can management build a data-driven, systemic understanding of the organizations health?

Make better decisions—faster

The pandemic has trained the spotlight on the power of fast decision making, as many organizations have had to move dramatically more quickly than they had originally envisioned by working with organizations to build a performance culture that empowers decision making at the right organization. We have helped hundreds of companies make better decisions—faster. Allowing them to outperform peers and build lasting business results.
