How does the Culture Canvas work?
Do you wish you didn’t have to spend so much time motivating people? What if your team came to work energised, bringing their A-game, solving problems, hit deadlines
without having to be reminded or chased?
When you design and build the right culture that’s exactly what happens. And that is what The Culture Canvas® was created for - to help you design and
implement the perfect culture for your business.
The Cause
The first step in the canvas is to define your ONE purpose, the reason your organisation exists.
What’s the cause that you’re fighting for? What does the future look like and what are the rules of the game?
The People
The second step is to get the right people on the bus that are not only capable but have the right character. People are excited to be part of what you're building and who actively contribute to the culture.
Who are the players?
The Language
The third step is to watch your language and make your communications consistent with your values. Select the words you use very carefully.
Do you 'hire' employees or do you 'select' associates? Are your marketing and internal comms consistent with each other?
The Plan
The fourth step of the canvas is to plan that inspires, engages and motivates your people to deliver the cause.
A solid plan isn't just about setting targets and deadlines. It's about creating a clear path that everyone can follow and understand.
The Structure
The fifth step of the canvas is to create a structure that supports your cause and your culture.
Your structure is the living framework that enables your purpose to come to life through your people, while removing barriers that slow people down.
The Systems
The final step of the canvas is to design the ways of working that reinforce the behaviours you want.
Does the environment help people behave the way you want them to? Do processes remind people of the reason you do what you do?
