Description
Changing or improving a culture in an organization is not easy. Often, initiatives to improve culture fail because the scope was too big from the start – they become too costly, too time intensive and weren’t connected to strategy. As a result, your teams can often become cynical and unreceptive to the subject of culture. Unfortunately, when culture doesn’t grow by design, it grows by default.
Our approach is radically different.
It starts with understanding that culture doesn’t exist across an organization, it exists on teams. For this reason, our goal is to equip your people leaders with the insight and skills to take ownership and build culture on their own team. It’s a powerful thing when people leaders have agency to build culture on their teams.
Culture is not created by choosing a set of values that people rarely remember; instead, it is built by what happens in difficult, pressure-filled moments, what we call the Last 8%. Our approach equips your managers to see difficult situations differently – not as something to avoid, but as an opportunity to create culture on their team. Our systematic approach typically takes six months, allowing you to build your culture in months, not years.
Our approach establishes a high-performance, Last 8% culture built on High Connection and High Courage, owned by each team leader. The result? People deliver results and stay because their needs are being met, they are more emotionally

What is a Last 8% Culture?
A Last 8% culture is a culture of high-performance, defined as having High Connection and High Courage. The transformation to a Last 8% culture will create a culture where people are more engaged, give more discretionary effort and are more emotionally committed to the organization. It is a culture that is highly accountable, has a high level of care, and produces better work and stronger results.
