Cultural Development

A team dedicated to creating outstanding, courageous work cultures.

Creating a culture that benefits your company and its employees makes economic sense.

We use strategies and workshops to create and nurture the organisational culture you require by designing and implementing your vision, values, mission and new leadership behaviors.

We develop exceptional leaders and cultures that inspire their people and teams to be their best.

Our approach 

We investigate your organisational structure, internal power and political processes, official and unofficial reward systems and address legends that have developed over time. We work to understand what is currently shaping and reinforcing your current culture to establish the one you desire.

Transforming cultures

It is critical to understand that changing culture takes time. Your current culture may have taken years to develop, but the good news is you can see results quickly once our strategies are implemented.

Cultural transformation is a 5 stage process:

  1. Understanding your current culture and where it started from 
  2. Establishing key metrics to monitor and track initiatives  
  3. Analysing data to identify areas where change is most needed 
  4. Designing a strategy and action plan to inform directional change 
  5. Regularly assessing the progress of change

A dysfunctional culture costs your company time, money and your reputation. We’re here to assist you in rebuilding your organisation with the culture you desire.

Transforming strategy

Now that you’ve identified the areas that need to change, we’ll work together to develop a strategy and a solid action plan to make it happen. We evaluate the impact on all stakeholders and develop an action plan that includes a communications process, a leadership development plan and a risk assessment.

Transforming teams

A well-coordinated team is more effective and capable of achieving greatness if they are unified. Our transformative, hands-on, practical programme and workshops will teach and demonstrate to attendees how their actions and behaviours (both indirect and direct) can increase sales, engagement, productivity, and overall results for themselves and the organisation. As a result, your team members will leave feeling and thinking like the leaders they were born to be.

No company, small or large, can win over the long run without energized employees who believe in the mission and understand how to achieve it.

.”

Jane Copperthwaite – Systems Assurance Manager Rail Systems Integration

For me the coaching made the program more than just a leadership course.  The power of the coaching is that having someone who gets to know you and your leadership style, your passion and your ability through sharing my self-reflection.  I was challenged to try things outside of my comfort zone that without the coach I would not have done and this has built my confidence.   I liken having a leadership coach  to having a personal trainer for fitness goals, stretching me beyond my assumed capability.  Having a coach helped me focus, gave me some perspective on what I have already achieved, what my strengths are and what  I want to do.    Knowing my goals I have been able to talk through with my coach strategies to achieve them, sometimes in ways I would never have explored if I was working this through on my own. The coaching has allowed me to gain real clarity on why I do what do, it has given me the key to my future as a leader.”

Virginia Bax – Director – Strategy and External Affairs Strategy, People and Planning

I have been extremely fortunate to have worked with LHQ during my organisation’s Women in Leadership program. My coach was a natural communicator, and balanced with high intellect and empathy – she was the perfect leader to provide advice and guidance. I have enjoyed every coaching session throughout our program – in fact my coach has been my rock every month, helping me to navigate personalities and relationships in a complex and high-pressured environment. I have learnt so much from her professional experience and how to be brave for those harder conversations in the workplace. I will be forever grateful for the last six months, thank you!
