Organisational culture
Create a healthy and cohesive culture where you all thrive and perform at your best
When an organisational culture evolves, it can create both opportunities and challenges.
A diversity of subcultures can bring dynamism and different perspectives into an organisation, but it can also lead to silos, reduce collaboration and weaken cohesion. With conscious leadership and a focus on strengthening the overall culture, subcultures can instead become a resource that supports innovation and collaboration. With a trust- and values-based organisational culture, you can strengthen interaction, engagement and the bottom line.
The Ex3 toolkit gives you a unique insight into employee and management culture. This allows you to focus on creating a healthy, open and cohesive culture across your entire organisation to achieve:
- Common language and awareness of your culture
- Strong team spirit across the organisation
- A culture where you all feel part of something bigger
- and a strong foundation that supports your strategy and goals.
As a housing association, we have a somewhat complicated composition with a democratically elected board and a management team that is employed. The two groups need to be on the same page all the time. The PCI® analysis can show that the course set by the board is also the course taken by the management and the organisation. This way we get everyone on board all the way.
Measuring and developing your organisational culture can create
gain in many contexts
Well-being and engagement
When you work to strengthen your culture through Ex3 People's data and dialogue tools, you'll create a sense of belonging and pride for everyone, which positively influences both well-being and engagement.
You create a safe and supportive work environment where everyone feels included and listened to, which also promotes a sense of community, purpose and engagement.
At the same time, the strong culture will make it easier for you to attract and retain talent.
Psychological Safety
A strong culture across your entire organisation promotes psychological safety by creating an environment where you all feel free to share ideas, ask questions and take risks without fear of negative consequences.
Conversely, psychological safety also contributes to a strong, positive culture where openness and trust become a natural part of everyday life.
This sets in motion a positive spiral: a strong culture that creates a high level of psychological safety. And a high level of psychological safety that in turn reinforces the culture across your organisation.
Diversity and inclusion
When you use Ex3 People's data and dialogue tools, you create a strong culture that allows for different perspectives and backgrounds. You build bridges across disciplines, generations and nationalities and create an environment where everyone feels welcome.
This also strengthens your ability to manage inclusion and diversity, which means you can attract and retain a more diverse workforce.
Bridging and collaboration
When you strengthen the culture across your organisation, you also promote a shared vision, common goals and the feeling of being in the same boat. Building bridges across generations and more is essential for good collaboration, a good culture, high levels of well-being and common direction to deliver the results you want.
Growth
A strong culture of psychological safety and engaged employees increases productivity and attracts top talent, strengthening the organisation's ability to innovate and deliver high quality.
This creates a competitive advantage and allows you to respond quickly to market needs. And in doing so, the strong culture becomes a key driver of your growth and success.
Cross border culture
In large international organisations, culture is often tested by the different languages, nationalities and national cultures. Here again, Ex3 People's data and dialogue tools can help build bridges so that everyone feels part of a larger community despite national differences. A community that rises above the different national cultures and instead unites you around your organisation's culture and your core mission.
This creates a competitive advantage and allows you to respond quickly to market needs. And in doing so, the strong culture becomes a key driver of your growth and success.
ESG - with a special focus on S and G
The Ex3 toolbox helps you not with the actual ESG reporting. On the other hand, it creates an intensified focus on the initiatives in the organisation that actually promote the results within the S and G that you will subsequently measure.
This means shifting your ESG focus from the accounting department to the HR department and the rest of the organisation. So your focus on ESG doesn't just become numbers for the sake of numbers - but actually becomes something that adds value to your organisation.
This creates a competitive advantage and allows you to respond quickly to market needs. And in doing so, the strong culture becomes a key driver of your growth and success.
Fusion
If merger is on your mind, our measurement and dialogue tools can ensure that you have a methodology for successful mergers. Whether you're in the early due diligence phase, whether you're well underway, or perhaps after a few years you realise there's still a gap between the merged cultures, we offer a powerful method for human due diligence when merging two or more organisational cultures and nationalities.
Culture is something we create together
At Ex3 People, we don't just measure your culture on an individual level. Because culture is something we
form together. That's why a crucial part of our unique methodology is the link between data and facilitated dialogue.
01
Data
With our PCI® Culture Analyses, you get continuous data and insights. This means you can identify and address strengths and weaknesses in your culture, you can launch targeted initiatives to strengthen your culture, and you can continuously follow up on the impact of the initiatives.
02
Dialogue
You also get our PCI® Dialogue Tools, which are proven models and concrete tools for framing open and safe dialogues - about the collected data, individual reflections and shared ambitions. The focus here is to create space for individual thoughts. But also to create awareness of the culture you are creating together. We call this movement "from me to we".
03
Formation
The concrete cultural initiatives you launch based on your PCI® data will develop and strengthen your culture. But in fact, you are already initiating a deeper development and formation process the moment you send out the questionnaires to the organisation. And that development and formation is intensified when you start the dialogue process.
That's because the models, theories and concepts that underpin our entire methodology are designed to - through self-reflection and shared dialogue - create new knowledge, new awareness and increased People Culture Intelligence. All of which will strengthen your culture.
We also recommend that the physical models become part of the office interior to ensure a continuous anchoring in everyday life and the ability to constantly anchor back to the culture at all levels of the organisation.
Use the physical models as a starting point for meetings, staff appraisals and any time it makes sense to add the cultural dimension to work - in other words, bring it into play every day.
Let's have a non-committal chat about,
How our methodology and tools can strengthen and unify your culture.
