Engagement Driven Organizational Culture

 

Intricately linked to the very tangible strategic, operational, technical and organizational issues for any company, is its culture. The culture of an organization creates the social fabric within which all the activities of an organization occur.

 

Time and again, in our engagements across multiple organizations, we have observed the significant impact of the underlying cultural issues which affect the business in many ways. For an untrained eye, it may not be possible to analytically dissect these issues let alone create a constructive plan to bring about a needed cultural shift. On many occasions, leaders and managers who do recognize that a cultural shift is needed, approach it in a one size fits all style, often to end up disheartened as to why their efforts are not being productive. It is not uncommon in such scenarios to resort to a handful of managerial tactics, but just with greater force and rigor which ultimately never addresses the root cause of the cultural issues at hand, and in fact may end up reinforcing the problem even further.

 

At Kamnor, we work with your team, and through a variety of methods including in-depth informational interviews quickly pinpoint the maladjustments. We create a plan to mitigate the issues which are at play so we can help address the underlying cultural issues in the organization. In fact, most often than not, we have found that the root cause for the issues fall within a limited set. These issues are addressable much more quickly and expediently than what the leaders or business owners may have at first imagined.  

 

We help you create an engagement driven culture. We want your company culture, operations and strategy to be in harmony. We help you succeed.

 

Creating an Inspired Workforce

 

At Kamnor, we have consistently used our methods to help leaders create an engaged and inspired workforce. Leaders within successful organizations realize that employee engagement can become rather effortless if the values, goals, and aspirations of the employees resonate with those of the organization. We believe that such a goal is achieved sustainably by creating an environment of “heartfelt discipline”. By ensuring that fundamentals, such as trust, empowerment, communication are meticulously reinforced and practiced, each and every individual gets to shine and collectively the best results are achieved.

 

Executive Teams and CEOs

 

CEOs and executive team members are the standard bearers and primary influencers of the culture for their organization. These individuals are highly visible throughout the company, and how they lead and manage has a significant effect on how the people feel about their work, how they approach their day-to-day activities and ultimately how they contribute to the business.

 

While most executives are somewhat cognizant of whether or not their company or business unit has a culture which positively reinforces the company strategy and goals, they do not have sharp incisive insight about the underpinnings and the root causes for the cultural issues which are at play. So, it becomes difficult for them to address something which they do not have a full understanding of but rather just a vague feeling about. Most executives have functional expertise; functional expertise got them the promotion. They now need a different set of skills to operate at the executive level. They need "organizational acumen". Executives who seek to address cultural issues without actively utilizing the much needed organizational acumen tend to reinforce “gut instinct” based managerial tactics which they are comfortable with, which ultimately leads to below par results.

 

We work directly with the leadership to help influence positive cultural change throughout the organization. In addition to working with leaders, we also work with managers and individual contributors to coach, train and encourage a “shift”. We help inculcate “formal” and “informal” leadership throughout various parts of the organization. We help you as the CEO and as a leader to turn the art of cultural shift into a science and help realize tangible business advantages.
