Pennycuick Consulting offers a comprehensive range of cultural and organisational change and development services.

 

Cultural Change has become a hot topic in organisational culture over the years. The importance of culture as a contributor to organisational performance is increasingly acknowledged.

To accurately undertake organisational culture assessment, make unbiased observations on the current situation, and then propose a strategy for change to effect benefit, it is often best to engage an outside party to help those within the organisation to undertake this project.

Leigh has developed a cost-effective qualitative assessment process combining interviews, focus groups, observations, and process reviews.

Pennycuick Consulting will work alongside your business, to develop a cultural change plan and evaluate the change to ensure your unique goals are achieved.

This includes:

  • Assessing the prevailing culture
  • Defining the desired culture.
  • Understanding barriers and drivers to change and the organisation’s capability to change.
  • Identifying possible unintended outcomes.
  • Agreeing on the leadership behaviours that will drive positive cultural change and providing support and coaching for the leadership team on employing these behaviours.
  • Developing a cultural change program (taking into account all the factors that influence culture such as HR systems, structure, goal setting and reporting).
  • Monitoring and/or evaluating progress.
