Strategic Consulting for Culture Change
At AMPlify, we have written numerous blogs advocating for people, with the basis being that people are an organization’s greatest resource. And they are.
That is why organizations must immediately shift to a culture-focused mindset and why we believe deeply in using strategic consulting for culture change. In short:
- No more nickel and diming for hours
- No more making people work from a desk in an office from 9-5
- No more blocking vacations
Instead, we need to show teams that we can be more dynamic when we embrace freedoms and that we become more accountable to each other when we have them. Let’s unpack this a bit more.
Why the Best Consultants Believe in Healthy Culture
According to statistics, 94% of executives and 88% of employees say that a healthy culture at work is vital for success—and we agree. When providing our consulting services, we have to be aware of a company’s culture before we can even begin implementing our services to help that business meet its goals and ultimately thrive.
That’s why we place such importance and focus on the human aspect of a corporation (culture)—the who of the equation in the company that we’re trying to help. This allows us to spot what’s needed and design and implement an improvement strategy that fits the people at the center of it all. If the solutions are not a good fit for the culture, the end goal will never be reached without unnecessary corporate drama, or worse, dissonance.
And do you know what makes that process as easy and smooth and seamless as possible? When the culture is healthy (i.e., the people are happy). Healthy cultures make our jobs more manageable—and it is our job to make your job(s) easier as a leader and collective organization. So, essentially, when you have a healthy culture, it helps us help you.
Strategic Consulting – Culture Over Profit
Many executives assume that adopting the culture over profit approach—as the name kind of even implies—automatically means locking yourself into an either/or scenario. For instance, if you choose to support and invest in your culture, your profits will suddenly plummet. This does not have to be the case at all.
It’s really about putting your people first. You can easily accomplish this without obliterating your bottom line. Fast Company published an excellent article explaining how good culture can actually create profit—it’s worth checking out.
