Culture change and reinvigoration in workplaces.

In this time of rapid change, of reduced barriers to global growth, of technological complexity, of leadership by distance, it grows more difficult to drive powerful and accountable cultures where people are energised, and their behaviours align with laws and regulations.  

This challenge is further exacerbated by a workforce composed of people from different generations who value different aspects of the workplace or organisational experience.
Organisations require a nimbleness, a change capability which can be drawn on at any point.

Cultural ‘anchors’ which are commonly understood and valued are likewise important to maintain the organisation’s inherent strength and integrity through change.

Here at the Kalmor Institute we help organisations revitalise their employee experience and work towards building an organisational culture they really want and value and which also drives results.

We help to anchor this culture in the organisation’s structures, systems, and symbols.

Consulting and advisory.

We assist organisations to:

  • Perform cultural audits.

  • Identify cultural strengths to build on and anchor.

  • Identify barriers to the development of aspirational cultures.

  • Develop cultures which consistently harness the greatest potential from all people and deliver results.

  • Reinvigorate cultures which have undergone controversy, integrity breaches, toxic leadership experiences and/or incidences of harm.

  • Identify or reinvigorate core values and core purpose, usually through the engagement of people across organisations via pre-identified, tailored steps and processes.

  • Powerfully engage people in the organisation's direction and culture, allowing people to own the future and let go of any 'baggage' or negative attitudes.

  • Embed a new or reinvigorated culture through inclusion of values and purpose in structures, systems, and symbols.

  • Embed internal change capability. It is our goal to make organisations self-sufficient. We train selected people within organisations to build their individual change management knowledge, confidence, and skills to decrease reliance on external advisors.

  • Conduct cultural due diligence to ascertain the ability of cultures to integrate or assimilate effectively.

  • Increase the speed and competency of cultural integration where mergers, acquisitions, divestments, de-mergers, and restructures are occurring.

  • Conduct research to ascertain key barriers to people engaging powerfully with the organisation's culture, purpose, vision, and goals.

  • Reviewing, revising, and designing policies and practices that assist in aligning behaviours and therefore creating a more powerful culture.

  • Attract, develop, motivate, and retain key talent.

  • Drive cultures which support and embrace diversity including the accomplishment and success of women.
