John Mattone![Corporate culture consultant] When change isn’t managed from inception beyond completion, negative elements can become entrenched in the culture.[/caption] The corporate culture consultant helps companies that are committed to creating a positive corporate culture. He or she also assists companies that are undergoing major changes that want to ensure that key values remain in place during and after the transition and that the “new, improved” organization works toward worthy goals and values its team members and customers. Creating Corporate Culture Like Creating a Productive Garden Think of creating a great corporate culture as if you’re creating a garden from the ground up. You want to look at the elements that are already in place, like the sun position, where there’s shade, and where water drains to, similarly to how you would evaluate your company’s assets and attitudes. Furthermore, you have to commit to every step of the process: testing the soil to see what’s lacking, enriching it appropriately, choosing what to plant, and tending to it, while pulling up weeds as soon as they pop up, not waiting for them to develop tenacious roots. Though you may want your garden to be a productive place, perhaps there’s also a place for sheer beauty – perhaps an area of wildflowers, a border of perennial greenery, or a peaceful rock garden off in the shade. Analogous approaches are necessary for good corporate culture to develop. What a Corporate Culture Consultant Does Just as a master gardener works with people to show them how to get excellent results, the corporate culture consultant applies tools and processes to ensure that positive changes to corporate culture take place at every level of the organization. First, they assess needs and determine which tools are necessary to define goals and work toward excellence in corporate culture, and then they ensure clients develop the necessary skills to handle both the incipient change and changes that occur later on. They may teach organizational leaders how to manage corporate culture and how to build stronger teams.
