Values: The Foundation of Culture.
Which is why building your optimal culture begins with understanding the values at the root of it. Values – conscious or unconscious – are the motivation for every decision made or action taken.
Employees have their own values when they walk in the door, and they are influenced everyday by the values they experience in your organization. Understanding the values currently at play is essential to put your wanted culture into action.
This is where our approach is uniquely effective. We work with the widely recognised Barrett Values Centre who have pioneered and continue to perfect ways to discover and activate your values to forge a targeted, measurable path towards a thriving culture.
CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION
Culture transformation starts with measuring your current culture and the desired culture. This understanding is gained through Barrett Analytics. We use Barrett AnalyticsTM because they offer the proven, customizable assessments used by thousands of organizations worldwide. Understanding culture with shared metrics gives you insight to how to intentionally develop it.
THE BARRETT MODEL™
The Barrett Model is the breakthrough work of Richard Barrett. Inspired by Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and tested over more than two decades of real-world experience with thousands of organizations, the model identifies the seven areas that comprise human motivations. These range from basic survival at one end, to service and concern for future generations at the other.
It provides a proven and extraordinarily useful map for understanding the values of your employees, leaders, and stakeholders. Even better, it offers a means for creating more supportive and productive relationships between them, and a deeper alignment of purpose across your organization.
