Start Ups

Culture can be a catalyst for growth or it can stop your business in its tracks. In the journey to scale-up and grown-up how do you keep the right elements of your culture?

It’s common for start-ups to feel culture challenges very quickly, even at the size of 20 people, certainly by 40 or 60, the business will need more formal systems and discipline; but the people who started-up may be mavericks who thrive on the adrenaline of spontaneity and resist what they perceive as ‘constraints’.

As you grow, it’s possible that you are unwittingly importing aspects of other companies’ culture, without realising. Hence the culture clashes arise.

Our programmes provide you with the tools to correctly navigate your way through the jungle of corporate culture. We’ll help you become confident that you can deal with any cultural challenges that should arise.

Where should I start?
