Scaffold Coaching - Building Better Organisational Culture

Building Better Organisational Culture

As a rule all of our engagements involve some element of change, and in our experience, change cannot be effective or successful if the culture of an organisation does not support it.

With this in mind we are curious to truly understand your culture, importantly it is the cornerstone of your business, yet it can be very difficult for people who work in the business to describe it, let alone start to change it.

Culture Change Initiatives

Consequently, if you are thinking of any change initiatives in your business, please consider building better organisational culture as a first port of call. We use empirical evidence demonstrating that the sustained success of businesses has less to do with market forces than company values; less to do with resources than beliefs and attitudes; and more to do with vision than competitive positioning.

Good leaders recognise that culture involves everyone in the organisation, and our facilitative approach will help you get to grips with it. Leaving you confident that your change initiatives have the best chance of being implemented, without wasting time and incurring unnecessary costs.

At Scaffold we help you explore and uncover what culture really means in your organisation today.

Leadership Essentials

1. Importantly, if you are considering change initiatives, you will want to avoid unintended consequences. Start by thinking about the culture of your business first. This is often overlooked making it an expensive mistake, and you will likely cause more harm than good, lose peoples trust, and waste time and money in the process.

2. Start by consulting with all of your people, and also consider the opinions of all your stakeholders. You will have your view of your organisations culture, as indeed will others, and they’ll likely differ. Ideally you want to be able to consider a range of beliefs, attitudes and intentions.

3. Trust is a fundamental value and extremely important when building better organisational culture. The fear of being vulnerable with team members prevents the building of trust within the team.

The Coaching Approach

In particular, our approach uses a coaching philosophy, so you can expect that we will have lots of questions which vary from the detailed to high level

With this in mind it is crucial we jointly agree the design of what happens next

For the most part our approach is consultative, and whilst every intervention is different, we will introduce you to our recommended process

Unlike an actual coaching conversation, you should expect that the outcomes will not be too specific until we have had time to build trust

We would highly recommend that you use a facilitator for this kind of work, even if this isn’t us!

Culture Workshops

A comprehensive program to investigate your organisations or divisions culture. A full report to inform stakeholders of our findings and an employee inclusive culture improvement plan

Cultural Assessment

We facilitate culture workshops to unpack your organisations or divisions culture.

Employee Workshops

Created with your business needs in mind, we offer a range of cost-effective workshops to develop communication skills. We can also build tailored workshops to meet your specific needs.

Your Trusted Advisors.

We work with you as a trusted advisor, providing a confidential environment to organise your thoughts. We do not judge, impose or assume we are the ‘expert’ in what is best for you. Instead we use the art and science of psychology in practical ways to support you to create your own success.
