Development and Implementation of Organizational Values


We help implement cultural changes and introduce new values

What primarily distinguishes successful organizations from others is their culture. Unfortunately, the existing culture and values often do not support the strategy; values are merely declarative or lack connection to daily work. How can such typical mistakes be avoided, and how to create an organization that operates based on values?

Our Competence and Approach


We have over 10+ years of experience advising more than 50 organizations on achieving cultural changes and implementing new values. By using tested methods and tools, we involve the entire organization in this process, ensuring management commitment, meaningful dialogue, and lasting change in people’s behavior.

We use various dialogue methods to raise employees’ awareness of values and to generate the necessary motivation to timely discover and resolve value dilemmas within the organization.

We have assisted leading organizations on the topic of values

The Dialogue Card game helps engage different levels of the organization in discussions on how to implement changes, new values, behavioral habits, and strategy into employees’ daily work. Through effective dialogue, connection and understanding are created, which is the key to successful change. This format has worked successfully in over 50 organizations in the Baltics, both large and small, in the public and private sectors.

Values Game

A playful format that allows people to have a dialogue about organizational values, helping them better understand and develop organizational culture. It is a board game designed for organizations that connects employees’ values with daily activities and choices. Through a playful approach, people gain a better understanding of what’s behind each value and how to apply values in practice.

Typical Problem Situations in Implementing Values and the Consequences of Leaving Them Unresolved
