Mission Vision Values Hiring Process & Strategy Employee Engagement Management Training Leadership Coaching

Mission, Vision, Values Transformation

Many companies have some form of mission, vision, and values (MVV), but few leverage them as intended - to clarify purpose, set direction, and empower good decision-making at scale. If you accelerate the velocity of good decision-making, you can accelerate growth in any market. We’ll guide you through a multi-phased planning process and design or refine an MVV manifesto that inspires your team with purpose, to dream big, and make decisions that are wholly aligned with your business objectives.

Executive Team Alignment

We kick off every MVV project with an executive team session called MVV Camp, where you’ll craft a vision, align on behavioral adaptations, map to values, and plan a path forward.

Culture Assessment

We meet with talent strategy stakeholders to assess your talent strategy maturity, culture strength, and provide a report of findings with recommendations.

MVV Manifesto

You’ll count on us to craft your mission, vision, and values into a culture manifesto to set direction, level set behavioral expectations, and give team members the tools they need to perform and make the best decisions.

Values-Based Leadership Training

We launch the activation phase of the project by delivering a customized values-based leadership training program to give your leaders practice communicating the mission and vision and coaching team members to the values.

Hiring Process & Strategy

Finding and onboarding the best fit is hard. That’s why 30% of new hires leave within 90 days.* Budget, process, team, culture, budget, timing, tech — so much to consider. And hiring is just the beginning. Over 80% of employees feel they had a poor onboarding experience.** We’ll help ignite your employer brand and start your employee experience on the right foot. Infuse every aspect of your culture into your talent acquisition strategy and bring it to life.

Engaged employees feel a sense of purpose and ownership. They put in extra effort and positively impact others. Disengaged employees, well, they breed toxicity and underperformance. Engagement is more than a number. Your engagement results capture clues on improving your structure, process, and people to increase productivity and company value.

A rise in remote and asynchronous work only raises the stakes. Our Lead with Leverage program helps managers discover superpowers, synthesize corporate objectives into a unit plan and goals, plus gives them the skills to lead teams through anything. Make leaders maximize leverage.
