There are a lot of companies out there selling culture surveys and other tools. Why choose us? We thought the best way to answer is to ask a few people who know and work with us.
Observable Changes in Senior Leader Behavior
I have personally been impressed by the impact of CSF's team effectiveness, 360 leadership assessment, and coaching with InterDigital's Executive Team. Specifically, I have seen observable changes in behavior which have resulted in our executives, individually and as a team, being more effective and better prepared to lead our company into the future.
Increased Effectiveness of Senior Leaders & Executive Team
Nancie has been a true partner helping translate our values and cultural attributes into powerful talent solutions for our business. Her deep expertise and understanding of our people and culture helped us deliver an Executive Development program that has increased the effectiveness of senior leaders and our executive team. She also guided us in bringing our culture to life in the form of our Leadership Essentials competencies which define the behaviors expected of leaders at all levels and provides tools to guide their personal development. Best of all, she is a pleasure to work with …flexible, responsive, pragmatic, collaborative, and supportive.
Compelling Insights Guide Action
We have partnered with CultureStrategyFit® for the past two years to better understand the culture we have, the culture we need for future strategic success, and the most powerful actions we need to take to leverage the best of us while developing new necessary culture muscles. This work involved several key conversations with Dr. Nancie Evans plus the CultureStrategyFit® Survey.
The result was a compelling set of data and even more compelling culture narrative that allowed us to clearly see the beliefs and assumptions that underlie and inform our actions and articulate four refreshed core values that form our culture foundation moving forward. These values have landed very well in the organization as they capture the core of who we are at our best and who we need to be for the future - a 'forward facing throw-back' as one employee said.
Without Nancie's insightful questions and analysis, we would not have gotten to the crux of our culture challenge so quickly and effectively. Her recommendations linking culture to strategic performance continue to provide strong guide posts as we grow into a global airline.
Uncover Complex Culture Dynamics
Having partnered with CultureStrategyFit® in assisting a number of organizations, I have found their surveys to be exceptionally robust tools. Not only do they accurately diagnose complex cultural dynamics, but they also communicate their data in easily understood and accessible dashboards.
Throughout the process, whether formulating our final list of questions and survey parameters, monitoring the employee response process, or providing multiple and highly professional personal feedback workshops based on the results; I have found Nancie and her team very warm, accommodating, professional, and above all highly competent. CultureStrategyFit® provided us a baseline for informed decision making and an on-going catalyst for meaningful change as we position our company for future growth. Thank you!
Post Merger Integration
CultureStrategyFit® acted not just as a guide and catalyst, but also a teacher during our post merger process using a 'teach to fish' approach. Ensuring we understood, adopted and integrated new practices, enabling the new culture to thrive. Thank you!
Powerful Conversations enhance Team Dynamics
We have worked with CultureStrategyFit® many times over the years. Our most recent partnership revolved around a client who was having some interpersonal issues within a certain division of their organization and were struggling to uncover the reasons why. After several discussions with the client and taking into account the fact that the team was also anxious to get some answers we determined that a Culture Dynamics Pulse survey would be a very valuable tool in the process. The survey allowed for each member to honestly and openly share their thoughts and perspectives. The information collected allowed for the team to have rich and valuable discussions with what they called ‘very honest data.’ This team had struggled with honesty and trust for some time so the survey was a good starting point in the process of enhancing their team dynamics.
The survey was a very key part of the process we used in helping this team to create their path to becoming a strong and effective team. Working with the team at CultureStrategyFit® is honestly a pleasure; their support and expertise is bar none. We are very grateful to have such an amazing team to support us in our culture initiatives. Thank you to the whole team for exceeding our expectations time and time again!
Robust & Sustaining Culture Tools & Techniques
I’ve been fortunate to draw on CultureStrategyFit® training, resources and guidance for over a decade now. I appreciate the research the tools are based on and the deep experience Nancie provides. Culture is a dynamic process and is always present, and Nancie and Sherrill’s commitment to understanding this has led to culture tools and techniques that are robust and sustaining. I love to use the culture images with my clients – they are incredibly helpful in expressing the desired culture and an excellent starting point for transformation. The surveys provide an insight into culture that is unmatched by other tools. I’m always excited to use the CultureStrategyFit® tools with my clients, not only do they learn about their culture, I learn as well!
Second to None Research, Methodologies, Support & Tools
The training and tools from CultureStrategyFit® have been invaluable in helping my clients articulate the dynamics of culture, and how to address opportunities for change within their teams and organizations. The research, methodologies, support and tools that CultureStrategyFit® provides are second to none.
Simple Tools Generate Powerful Insights
As a long-standing facilitator for physician leadership, I have found the Culture Images to be an incredibly powerful tool to engage participants at the outset of our program on Leading High Performance Culture. An activity that appears deceptively simple at first quickly gives rise to learnings that are rich and multi-layered…just like organization culture!
