Culture of Excellence Program

Activating your teams to achieve Excellence

Through our extensive experience working with some of the world’s most successful organizations, we have discovered that achieving excellence does not happen by chance.

Instead, excellence is carefully crafted by teams of leaders who are fully committed to achieving results that go way beyond anything that has been accomplished before. These leaders defy general convention and, together with their teams, aim for what was until then believed to be unrealistic or impossible. They aim, they strive, and they achieve!

Our Culture of Excellence program is specifically designed to transform your team and organization from its current culture to one that is consistently and successfully operating at the leading edge.

This program is tailor-made to align with your organization’s vision, mission and values, and is primarily focused on accelerating your performance and maximizing your organization’s full potential.

How the Program Works

Your Culture is the Operating System of Your Business.

You may have a great strategy, great products, and outstanding technical expertise, but only with a collective mindset for excellence and effective leadership will you be able to achieve excellence and sustain it over the long-term.

In order to develop a Culture of Excellence, we follow a 3 Phase Process that has proven to shift mindsets and transform cultures to operate at the highest levels.

Phase 1

Developing a Collective Mindset for Excellence

Through our experience in working with some of North America’s most successful organizations, we have learned that to achieve excellence, leaders and teams need more than just skills training or change management workshops.

Developing a mindset for excellence is about each person’s outlook, which determines how effectively they behave and perform. To develop a mindset that achieves excellence, both individually and collectively, we work with your leaders and teams to minimize ineffective mindsets and enhance those that deliver superior performance.

Mindset for Excellence highlights our significantly differentiated approach to organizational development. Some of the words that have been used by clients to describe this program are: “Our Breakthrough”, “The Big Shift”, “The Game Changer”.

Phase 2

1. Understanding the Drivers of Culture
2. Moving from Current Culture to Ideal Culture
3. Leading the team to Co-Create Excellence

To operate at the leading-edge and achieve excellence, the most successful organizations and leaders focus their attention on maximizing the potential of their people.

They do this by going beyond individual performance to harnessing the collective power and creativity of their teams. Every business leader aspires to lead an organization that is focused, agile, and high achieving.

In short – a high performing organization that is operating at full potential.

The reality, however, is that most organizations do not operate even close to their full potential. The key reasons are: distractions, interpersonal issues, personal agendas, fears and insecurities, need for control…(the list goes on).

Unless every team member in the organization is clear on what excellence is in their role, has a leader who is supporting and holding them accountable for growth and performance, and has the right mindset for excellence – achieving at full potential will always elude us.

In Phase 2, team members learn about the drivers of organizational culture and the levers to move toward a culture of excellence. We learn how to prepare for and engage in co-creative meetings, and leaders learn how to coach and lead their teams to Co-Create Excellence.

The result – an organization that operates at the leading-edge, constantly creating and innovating and achieving results that have never been achieved before.

Phase 3

Sustaining a Culture of Excellence

In order to achieve and sustain excellence, team members need to be consistently applying their new mindset and skills on the job. Most organizational development programs don’t deliver on this because there’s no long-term plan in place beyond the training. We work with our clients to ensure that changes stick.

By following Dynamic Achievement’s unique sustainability plan, your team will engage in structured cohorts and continue to apply their learnings on the job. This leads to improved communication and collaboration, increased capacity to innovate and lead through ambiguity, a stronger focus on developing team members, and a restless drive to deliver results.

Your teams will have ongoing access to our ACHIEVE Online Sustainability System with a wealth of resources to support their ongoing development and application of mindset and skills.
