Welcome to The Culture Platform
Nothing is more essential to great results than the people powering it.
As simple as this concept is, organizations struggle to create meaningful connections with their employees.
Something isn't working with company culture – the numbers have been too low, for too long.
It can only be explained by the way leaders and managers behave and act. These are the people responsible for the rest of the people. Leaders and managers are the reasons why people fall in love with a company and its culture — or not. Leaders create the global cultural values of an organization; managers implement those values locally.
Company values are based on human behavior, not a poster on the wall. Values-based behaviors start with role-modeling them as leaders and managers.
Any company that wants to attract and keep the best employees, its leaders need a prove they “walk the talk” of their stated values. Any organization that wants to be a magnet for talent must prove that it can live up to its aspirations. As we used to say at Cisco, “We’re in Missouri now — the ‘Show Me’ state.”
But most miss the mark. The top reason organizational cultures don’t live up to their stated values is a lack of leadership commitment to those values.
Why is company culture so hard? Because Walking YOUR talk isn't easy – there's no standard gameplan, until now.
TCP is the only company culture platform built for leaders and managers to focus exclusively on specific values. We are not an employee engagement or employee culture platform; we are not a boil-the-ocean company culture platform.
We don't decide what values are important: you do. If you care about curiosity, empowerment, self-awareness, clear expectation-setting or psychological safety as values, we have solutions.
We designed TCP to empower the individuality of organizations. Our offers are unique to a specific set of values a leader aspires to see in their company culture.
We are about "getting things done" for leaders and managers: The Culture Platform merges learning, development and feedback tools into a single solution.
How does our company culture platform "get things done"?
- Everything is in one place. We don't have any silo's: our learning, development and feedback tools are integrated into one team dashboard.
- We are battle-tested. Some of the most successful culture-builders on the planet are sharing tools that have already worked.
- We are easy. Our company culture platform was built by former leaders and managers to focus on the process of building culture, not the tool itself.
I’ll add a fourth: we are value priced.
Peter Drucker is over-quoted and often mis-quoted in most discussions about organizational culture. Whether he said “culture eats strategy for breakfast” or not really doesn’t matter — because any experienced leader or manager knows it is true.
My point of view is simple: Do your words and actions live up to their aspirations, their full potential? There’s only one way to find out: ask your employees.
It’s a simple question. Will you listen, learn and lean-in?
