Co-design your next people initiative in a fun, fresh and engaging way
We work with P&C teams to inject energy into their strategic people initiatives, so they can get real traction in under three months.
​
Run a Culture Design Sprint, and you'll walk away with buy-in, non-generic solutions, and tangible deliverables so you can keep moving forward confidently.
We've worked with 50+ P&C teams to make rapid progress on their people strategy
Focus on the strategic P&C initiatives that matter most to you
Our Culture Design Sprints are a modern way for P&C teams to drive ELT engagement, get org-wide input, and quickly test multiple ideas and solutions. Our flexible, high-impact Sprints come in different flavours tailored to tackle the most common strategic initiatives you need to deliver. Not sure where to start? Our People Strategy Sprint is perfect if you need to refresh your people strategy before diving into execution mode.
Learning
Design Sprint
Co-design and roll out exciting learning programs that drive action and change by focusing on supporting your people to deal with the real challenges and problems they face.
Values
Design Sprint
Develop and embed your organisational values in a deeper and more collaborative way, so you can go beyond the 'values on the wall' and build a genuine values-led culture.​
Employee Experience
Design Sprint
Dive deep into any part of your employee experience (e.g. recruitment, onboarding, career development), to generate better solutions that work in your context.
Tackling your people strategy doesn’t have to be big, complex, expensive or boring!
It's hard to keep the strategy stuff moving when operational issues keep coming up. Constant restructures, legislation changes, managers misbehaving, and employees underperforming. But executing strategy doesn't have to be hard. In just six weeks, using Culture Design Sprints, you will make meaningful progress on your key strategic initiatives in an exciting and collaborative way. Plus, you'll have plenty of cool and tangible things to share at your next quarterly update!
Culture Design Sprints give you a fresh, not fluffy approach to culture.
We've taken inspiration from design thinking and design sprints to build a unique method developed specifically for P&C teams in mid-sized organisations (100 - 1,000). Our approach enables you to make fast, tangible progress on your people strategy in a way that's super engaging and not at all 'corporate'.

WEEK 1
Align the Culture Design Sprint to your context and goals
We'll start with a session to deep-dive into your organisational vision, strategy and culture. We'll get clarity on your people strategy and the objectives you want to tackle in the Sprint. After the kick-off, we'll map out the logistics and timelines and review any work you and the team have already done.

WEEKS 2 & 3
Bring your people together and break the HR workshop stereotype
The thought of culture-building sessions usually invokes eye rolls and cynicism. Break the stereotype, and have your people walk away saying, "That was way better than the boring HR workshop I was expecting." Each workshop is tailored to meet the Sprint objectives, drawing from our toolkit of engaging and innovative tools and techniques.
Each Sprint begins with an ELT/SLT workshop(s). We then run workshops with the broader organisation to get bottom-up input. Workshops go for 3-4 hours, and we typically run 4-8 workshops as part of a Sprint.
WEEK 4 & 5
Prototyping & piloting to quickly test and validate ideas
Culture Design Sprint workshops generate tons of ideas and insights. We'll synthesise the data and build out some experiments to run.
​
Instead of spending ages over-engineering something perfect on paper but not perfect in practice, we quickly build prototypes for piloting. Prototyping and piloting allow you to test out more ideas and take a more agile and experimental approach to implementation.
WEEK 6
Action planning to keep the momentum going
We'll analyse the data and feedback from the experiments and then present back a clear action plan. This plan maps out the quick wins and longer-term initiatives that you should prioritise to positively impact your People Strategy. You'll walk away with data, tangible assets, and a plan so you can continue to move forward with confidence.
Increase feelings of connectedness, clarity and care by 50%
"Your tools are light, agile, flexible. Not bureaucratic and unwieldy. For a busy People & Culture team, that is a blessing."
