An organisation’s culture is like gravity. You can’t see it or touch it, but it exerts a constant pull that holds things in place. Like gravity, culture is made tangible by its effects; it can be seen in the behaviours and practices of an organisation’s management and employees.
Most managers attempt to bring about cultural transformation through top-down initiatives that are aimed at influencing behaviours and practices. These programs often fail because they address the effects of culture, leaving its causes unseen and unchanged.
Achieve Breakthrough works with its clients to create initiatives in which people can successfully step outside their familiar working patterns to identify and address the embedded attitudes, assumptions, and ways of thinking that drive behaviour and hold any limitations in place. In doing so, participants gain the freedom to act in new ways, and to forge new ways of working based on the future they want, common goals and values.
