If you are a Chief Executive, Managing Partner, President, Vice Chancellor or Founder - this is for you
Recognising the problem: These CEOs asked for help with strategy, but what they really wanted was culture change. When working in Singapore, the Chairman of a SE Asian law firm asked me to lead a transformation to 'Westernization' the operations of his firm. That meant 'Show us how to 'be' Western in our sales, client management, service delivery and firm management to win US and European clients operating in the region.' When working in the United Kingdom, the CEO of a global insurer that wanted to merge three companies headquartered in different parts of the world asked, 'How do I get them to accept the merger strategy we have for driving growth of the new entity?' That meant, 'How do I get them to believe in me and each other to create shared values that will drive common and consistent behaviors?' When working in Australia, the CEO of a global consulting firm asked me, 'What strategies can I use to get women to stay in the firm long enough to allow me to get them to partnership?" That meant, 'How do I get them to trust me and the firms assertions that things will be equal from now on?' You are the leader they watch: you are also the culture they see.

Why culture is yours to own
As CEO, your daily activities, decisions and behaviours either adapt and change, or reinforce and embed, the prevailing culture...it's your choice. You lead, others follow. We prepare you to 'be' the culture expert and culture leader in your organisation. The era of delegating changing culture is over. You create it, so you must lead changing it. Every pandemic pivot you have made, has changed the underlying assumptions, values and beliefs of your culture. We will help you know how to read it, assess it, and change it, so you can 'be' the leader you need to be to deliver growth. |

MODULE 1: How to use Culture as a Growth Strategy for greater outcomes
In this module we demonstrate how to assess Strategy and Culture are aligned on your growth curve, and how to use Culture to differentiate your organisation from others to fuel growth. When aligned, you're ready to motivate the behaviours you need to deliver results. When misaligned, you'll experience hurdles, conflict, stress, frustration and waste. |

MODULE 2: How to evaluate whether COVID-driven Culture Changes are working 'for or against' you
With every catastrophe - 9/11, GFC and COVID - major shifts in all levels of Culture occur; some you can see, others you cannot. Those that are hidden need to be identified so you can evaluate whether the shifts aid or inhibit your pandemic recovery and your return to growth. |

MODULE 3: How to wrap Culture around your Transformation for greatest impact
Digital transformation is about speeding up the adoption of technologies by employees to improve business process and by customers to increase the value they receive. The key word here is 'adoption'. The most progressive digital processes to improve customer servicing can fail if staff and customers don't want to use them. When the design team operates 'within the culture' needed to deliver outcomes, the chicken and egg are in the one ecosystem. |

MODULE 4: How to use growthcurv's Culture Circuit to influence a shift in Cultures of others in your value chain
The value chain is actually a 'circuit' in Culture terms. Our proprietary Culture Circuit helps you identify other cultures that help and/or hinder your organisations progress, performance and profit...and how to demand change. By insisting that your suppliers and industry training organisations match your values you secure your future. |
