How the Competing Values Framework Helps You Define & Improve Company Culture
Identify Your Workplace Culture to Lead More Intentionally
Every organization has a culture. Not every leader can describe theirs accurately.
Company culture isn't the values statement on the wall. It shows up in what gets rewarded, what gets tolerated, and how decisions really get made. Those patterns shape performance, engagement, and trust, impacting your organization’s reputation.
The good news is that workplace culture can be identified. Once you can name the culture you have, you can lead more intentionally and identify opportunities for improvement.
If you've wondered why a strategy stalls, why good people leave, or why your team says one thing in the meeting and something else in the parking lot, this session is for you.
Join us for a free, one-hour webinar on Wednesday, September 30, at 12pm EDT to learn a practical model for identifying your organizational culture and shaping it with intention.

What You'll Learn
What You’ll Learn About Building a Strong Company Culture
Most culture conversations start with perks and morale events. Real culture sits deeper. Part of it is visible in policies, goals, and org charts. The rest lives in norms, stories, and unwritten rules that guide behavior every day.
According to Gallup, only two in 10 U.S. employees strongly agree they feel connected to their organization’s culture. That gap is an opening for leaders willing to look closely at what their culture is telling people.
This session uses the Competing Values Framework, developed by Kim Cameron and Robert Quinn, which sorts culture into four types by asking two questions. Does your organization look inward or outward? Does it lean toward flexibility or stability?
Each type comes with real strengths and real risks. Understanding where your organization falls will help you lead well within the culture you have and make improvements that move you toward becoming an Employer of Choice.
By the end of this session, you’ll be able to:
- Identify which of the four culture types matches how your organization operates today
- Recognize the strengths and the risks that come with your culture type
- Use your culture as a compass, so your team makes decisions faster and with more confidence
- See where your culture supports your strategy and where a shift would serve you better
You’ll also have time for Q&A.
