Building a Performance Culture

Culture can be shaped and changed over time - though always a daunting task that takes years, not months. All organizational cultures change slowly over time but when business strategy or external circumstance shift quickly, a more deliberate, focus on culture change may be necessary to survive. Culture change begins with a set of core values that Traversa consultants help translate to observable competencies, metrics, rewards and other new organizational practices. At the 'end of the day' culture change is always about the role-modeling of the leadership team - but this natural change process can be greatly accelerated through focused application of strategic human resource practices and an explicit 'culture roadmap' that defines and measures milestone changes in the culture.
