The CULTURESTRATEGYFIT® Culture Cards is a tool to facilitate meaningful conversations about organizational culture. Each of the 26 cards identifies an attribute in our 9-dimension analytic framework.
The Culture Cards provide a framework and shared language for talking, in a safe way, about culture and how it is supporting and/or getting in the way of performance and strategy execution. They are an effective tool for engaging Leaders and others in conversations about culture paving the way to greater understanding and an intentional approach to shaping and changing culture. They are most effective when used to answer specific questions about the business, such as a problem or goal. This makes the card sort activity concrete and practical while at the same time acknowledging the important role culture plays in the way organizations operate.
Your purchase includes the one-hour Culture Card Activity that provides instructions for conducting a card sort with individuals, teams or large groups. If you prefer a more robust option, consider the Culture Cards Workshop to help you facilitate powerful explorations of the current and/or future culture using a 3 to 5 hour modular design. The workshop materials includes one deck of Culture Cards, a PPT presentation, an optional prework assignment, a handout and detailed Leader’s Guide.

THE CONCEPT

WHEN TO USE THE CULTURE CARDS
The Culture Cards have been used as part of strategic planning initiatives, business transformation projects, strategic change implementations (i.e. new business models, spin-offs), merger and acquisition integration planning, leadership development workshops, team effectiveness initiatives, executive retreats, as well as vendor and supplier partnerships.
HOW TO USE THE CULTURE CARDS
