Strong foundations keep you grounded in times of change
We are living in an era of rapid change, meaning leading organisations need to be agile, flexible and adaptable in order to stay relevant. If the common set of behaviours, underlying mindsets and beliefs that govern traditional organisation are not understood then you struggle to grow.
An organisational culture is a reflection of its leaders’ culture, ethics and consciousness. The impact of this transfers throughout teams and the organisations, impacting performance. Culture can determine success or failure during times of change.
Shift the culture in your organisation to excellence
Culture is integral to delivering business strategies. The Colin James Method® is committed to supporting your senior leaders to set the right tone and standards across your organisation. We confer with the executive team to envisage what a successful and enviable workplace culture would look and feel like in your organisation and how we would measure its success. Training is completed across the organisation to ensure the purpose of the company resonates with employees.
Then we educate your teams with practical frameworks and methodologies they can apply with confidence to live and breath the culture. We support the cultural transformation by encouraging leaders to model key cultural attributes in their behaviours around the organisation. Encouraging a standard of excellence that will stretch employees to achieve and exceed goals.

Fostering a culture that supports company goals and strategic pillars
In 2018, we partnered with CUA to deliver a 12-month culture development program to overhaul their workplace culture across the organisation of 1,000 employees. Employees had started to show symptoms of disconnect and they needed to dig deep to find out why staff weren’t as connected and how to resolve these issues.
The key objectives for this program were to elevate their story, values and desired culture so their people could better align their personal values with those of CUA. It was also important to foster a culture that would support their overarching goals and strategy.
We conducted a deep audit on the existing culture and the UGR’s (unwritten ground rules) that currently governed the company, which then informed the development of a new cultural agenda and a successful launch to all their employees Australia wide, championed by the employees themselves.
The Result: The tailored program successfully transformed their organisational culture and they have seen a big difference in staff engagement, thinking and relationships.
“We achieved significant and sustained improvement on all our key indicators.”
