Transforming Organizational Culture: From Individual Competition to Active Community Building

“Culture is how organizations ‘do things’.” — Robbie Katanga

Organizational culture is defined as the underlying shared:

Attitudes, beliefs, customs and norms, written and unwritten rules developed over time. Culture also includes assumptions, common language, organizational vision, values, and ways of interacting that contribute to the unique social and psychological environment of an organization.

Culture is the environment in which teams operate and function, so it is essential for organizations and teams to be able to reflect and assess their organizational culture As Is State while consciously working toward building a new height to enable high-performing teams.

In this inclusive and dynamic program, Vine Communities will facilitate a meticulously designed long-term project (4-6 months) for teams to cultivate the power of the practice of community building within the organization so that individuals leave their comfort zones and move away from individual competition and work silos and engage in cross-team collaboration and begin to function as a real coherent community within the workplace.

Organizations can select one or more teams required to build to the next level of their performance.

The program includes the following components:

• Psychometric Assessments
• Understanding Organizational Culture (Theory Session)
• Introducing the team 100 days Transformation Challenge (A Series of Practical Working Sessions)
• Cultivating the Power of Subcultures for Teams (Practical Working Session)
• Transforming Toxic Culture into Positive Culture (Practical Working Session)

Facilitated Sessions

Facilitated sessions enable companies to focus on a specific issue that they must solve in the immediate future and work on finding solutions.

Sessions may also focus on finding new ideas for a new product line or campaign they'd like to run.

The team will get in the room with an experienced facilitator to tackle a workplace problem or generate new ideas.

The facilitator's role is to take the team through a specific sequence of exercises to move them from a state of uncertainty to excitement about taking action to achieve the desired outcome. Sometimes, teams need more than one session to achieve their goal.

• Facilitated Brain-Storming Sessions
• Facilitated Problem-Solving Sessions

Duration: 3-6hrs over one or more sessions

Number of Participants: 12 Max
