Rebuilding a sustainable company culture

The Real issues:

Did it take a market crash for you to recognize the‘7 Deadly Business Sins’ that led to the collapse, or were you aware of them all along?

Government bailouts, stimulus packages, and CEO capped salaries are seen as the current remedial steps needed to save the world from economic ruin. But none of these measures will really address the fundamental issues that led to the 2008 market collapse. Companies that have been affected by the collapse need to rebuild their culture in such a way that their values (the essential glue that holds the structure in place) is strong enough to ensure sustainability. Unpredictable oscillating economic cycles will continue to be a fact of business, but the smart leaders will have better prepared individuals, teams and organizational strategies to deal with the ups and downs of these cycles.

With the climate of a post 2008 crash organisations will be facing big issues of trust and hope among the survivors. Leaders need to be aware that this could well provide a decision point that could lead to either a destructive downward spiral or a chance for regenerative growth.

Why Tirian?

Over the last 15 years Tirian has been working with companies to help build values in a way that ensures integrity remains at the core. Research and experience have both shown that this can protect teams from collapsing in a crisis. We have seen companies literally disintegrate first hand and have identified the types of mindsets that have contributed to their downfall. Despite the fact that there are many signs that can point to a potential future collapse, many people end up being too busy focusing on individual profit, hoping they can be sheltered from the inevitable results.

We have been committed to helping many organizations realign their core values and rebuild a culture that is consistent with these. Along with our 15 years of experience working in this area, we have researched case studies and historical scenarios dating as far back as the downfall of Angkor Wat Temple and the Tower of Babel (the first recorded “crash”) to pinpoint the causes and signs of a collapse and then develop tools to show how to:

  1. rebuild a company or team culture,
  2. become more resilient (individuals, teams and organisations)
  3. withstand future potential storms

Through our relentless dedication to these issues,  we have designed a series of programs : (seminars, coaching, facilitation & online learning) which actively confront the realities of a collapse after the event and reveal constructive ways to move forward.

What Tirian can do:

  1. RECOVERY:    Aid in the recovery of a collapsed individual team and organisation
  2. REALIGNMENT:   Realign company values to the core of the company and sustainable growth  ..with a  focus on integrity and collaboration
  3. STRATEGIC PLANNING:   Help put strategies in place that will strengthen against future storms
  4. PERSONAL PREPARATION: Prepare individuals and organizations for the future, through redundancy  ..and  outplacement workshops & coaching programs
  5. COMPETENCE BUILDING:  Build Emotional Capital in individuals to become mentally resilient to  ..challenging times and to build leadership strength
  6. CULTURE CHANGE:   Create a culture based on mutually beneficial collaboration instead of  ..destructive greed

 

We have identified 7 key areas from by our research to develop the glue that can lead to positive sustainable organizational culture and cultural reconstruction, where needed. The approach focuses on the deep values and behaviours that led to the issues rather than simply dealing with the symptoms: using a holistic approach that addresses 1) Individuals 2) Teams, and 3) Organisations
