The first episode of Carolyn Taylor's podcast series on cultural contribution is now available.
Over this new series of seven episodes we’ve unpacked our new tool for measuring cultural contribution, The Taylor Assessment, which is already making a significant difference to our clients.
Over our 30 plus years of working with organisations on culture change, we have defined six main culture archetypes:
We’ve been using these archetypes and associated behaviours with our clients for years, and we’ve always known that hiring the right people who fit your desired culture is critical to drive change. However, we’ve not had a way of accurately assessing individuals on this basis. Until now.
We use The Taylor Assessment on candidates, leaders, and teams to determine what contribution that individual will make to your target culture. This is not about culture ‘fit.’ It is assessing a person to accurately understand what culture they are likely to prefer building, how that might show up in their day-to-day behaviours, and the legacy they will leave.
By doing so, your organisation can hire with greater confidence, identify development areas for leaders (whose role modelling of behaviours is critical), and build more effective teams. All of which will accelerate your culture change, and therefore the delivery of your business strategy.
