From culture alignment to competitive advantage
We are Galanthus Group, a culture architect agency, working at the intersection of leadership, collaboration and performance in the workplace.
We act as innovation partners and culture shift facilitators for organisations looking to improve their business performance.
By identifying, implementing and sustaining strategic changes in organisational culture, we help to shape thriving workplaces that propel organisations towards sustainable growth.
Our approach is personal, committed and collaborative
From initial diagnostics to co-designed interventions, tailored consultancy programmes and expert guidance, we empower leaders to transform their organisational culture and elevate their business performance.
Organisational culture impacts on every area of business
When that culture is defined, aligned and driven through business behaviour at all levels, it has a positive and proven impact on business performance and success, from employee engagement to customer satisfaction to operational efficiency.
Research consistency links organisational culture to bottom line profitability, with SMEs identifying up to a 21% increase in profitability due to measurable improvements in their organisational culture.
Ready to shift your organisational culture?
Organisational culture is a key pillar of business science. Although recognised as having a profound impact on business performance, it is often perceived as abstract, difficult to measure and challenging to establish. It shouldn’t be, and that’s where Galanthus Group comes in.
Our Culture Shift Model™ provides an end-to-end framework for organisational culture change. It opens the door to a collaborative partnership, allowing us to identify, implement and sustain strategic culture shifts which will elevate the performance of your people, and therefore your business.
We are also a Certified Facilitator of Working Genius™, a game changing productivity tool that taps into the dynamic make up of individuals to build stronger, more cohesive teams and galvanise both satisfaction and success in the workplace.
Identify
We start with a baseline assessment of your existing organisational culture using a range of proprietary diagnostic tools, including our Culture P&L Analysis, Culture QR Score and Culture Advantage Index, to provide data-rich quantitative and qualitative insight.
Implement
We then create a tailored programme of co-designed interventions, including workshops, ideation sprints, coaching and consultancy sessions, to empower business leaders to act as catalysts for culture change. As appropriate to your business and your aspirations, interventions may include Personalised Leadership Empowerment Workshops, Critical Friend Collaborations, 3x3 Engagement Sprints, Innovation and Ideation Sprints, and Leadership Labs.
Sustain
We don’t set and forget, instead we build lasting relationships that become a seamless part of your success. Monitoring tools such as Culture QR Score and Real-time Response, combined with Refresh and Update Sessions, avoid slip back and, because growth never stops, ensure that organisational culture remains part of your continuous cycle of business improvement.
Let’s start talking!
Our approach is bespoke, scalable and adaptable to the unique dynamics, needs and aspirations of your business. And because we recognise that not every organisation may need to follow our full three-stage Culture Shift Model™, we are always happy to discuss smaller or shorter tailored interventions.
Intrigued? Good.
