Culture and Performance Management Consulting

Make Performance Flow

High performance and growth are symbiotic. To sustain long-term peak performance, skills need to be tested against consistent but satisfying challenges. This is why professional high performance is hard to maintain. People outgrow their environment. When this happens, performance plateaus or people move on.

We use insights from flow research to systematically change your approach to performance management. By designing performance systems that align individual goals & skills to your company vision, you improve employee engagement, job satisfaction, and motivation. In short, you create a culture that breeds high-performing talent.

How We Work. Our 5 step process

Step 1: Discover the Big Picture

We kick off by diving into your strategic intent, unique context, and ultimate goals. Think of it as getting to know your organization’s heartbeat. By spending time with your leadership team, we uncover where you are now and map the journey to where you want to be. It’s about bridging the gap between "here" and "amazing."

Step 2: Data Digs & Strategic Insights

We roll up our sleeves and dive into research! From gathering data to conducting insightful stakeholder interviews, we leave no stone unturned. Then comes the "aha" moment: we share our sharp analytical observations with you to set the foundation for the design phase.

Step 3: Designing Magic with Culture Squared ®

This is where the fun begins! Using our signature Culture Squared ® methodology, we transform the design process into a dynamic, gamified experience. It’s engaging, inclusive, and taps into creativity from all corners of your team.

We’ll co-create principles that shape the design options. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” solution here - together, we explore and refine strategies that work for your people, purpose, and vision.

At its core, Culture Squared ® combines systems thinking with human-centered design to craft workshops that truly deliver results.

Step 4: From Ideas to Action: Activate & Empower

We don’t just talk about change - we make it happen. With our deep practical expertise, we guide your teams through every step of the implementation process. Whether you need hands-on support, extra resources, or expert integration with external partners, we ensure a seamless transition that sets you up for success.

Step 5: Measuring Success: Reflect, Review, Refine

How did we do? Once implementation is complete, we assess how well the project hit its goals. This isn’t just a box-ticking exercise - it’s a powerful moment to take stock, celebrate wins, and identify opportunities for fine-tuning. With this step, we reinforce our commitment to creating long-lasting, meaningful change.
