Imagine thousands of individuals working in unison. Productively. Quickly adapting to any change.
It’s not a dream.
It’s a culture design challenge.
Bad Culture = Bad Busines
The bigger modern organizations become, the harder it is for them to change direction. To react to seismic shifts in their market. To adopt new technologies. To align everybody to the same strategy. This is why 70% of all change initiatives miss their mark.
Most business challenges, from performance and productivity to AI adoption, trace back to culture. Improving culture is the most powerful way to drive real results and lasting growth.
How can culture even be changed?
Some see work cultures as static and rigid. They think only aggressive measures like threats and mass firing can change them. They’re wrong.
Others see work culture as soft. They think it can be fixed with company events and team-building days. They’re wrong. There’s nothing soft about the way people execute your strategy.
Work culture is a closed natural ecosystem. Some work cultures have fertile soil; some don’t. In some cultures your strategy can flourish; in others it can’t.
What’s certain: every culture can be nourished and cultivated to support any strategy, but only if you treat it as seriously as any other strategic challenge.
Work cultures only change if you address them on all three levels
Systems - The formal structures that organize how work is planned, managed, and measured, such as hierarchies, tools, and decision-making.
Symbols - Expressions of corporate values and beliefs, such as icons, events, rituals, and narratives.
Processes - The regular steps people follow to get things done, such as hiring, selling, or developing products.

What Our Clients Say
Conscious Business®
philosophy that inspires people to fulfill themselves through work
Powerful philosophies have always shaped the business world. Some have focused on maximizing ROI but neglected the human side. Others have built healthy workplaces but lost sight of performance. Conscious Business is the only approach that sustains both: performance and wellbeing, without compromise.
Conscious Business is a business where the personal success is aligned with group success, and group success is aligned with business success. [This is what the aligned stars in our logo represent.]

And why wouldn’t those be aligned!? It has been known for decades that a good place of work isn’t one with the best perks or even with the best friends, but a fair place. A place where people know what is expected of them. Where people work together on a common goal. Where personal and business prosperity go hand in hand.
Many experience Conscious Business the capitalist’s equivalent of spiritual awakening, not because it connects them to the divine. But because it creates conscious awareness to the middle ground between these Yin and Yang of Business. Read more about it here.
