The below is an outline of Open Org’s 7-step approach to values design & evolution. It’s an overview of how we help companies step away from values as words on a wall, to an outcome of clear do’s & don’ts behaviours, and fully operationalised & embedded values across teams.

It’s just an outline. If you want to go deeper, we’re always up for a ☕ on this topic. (cal here) and we support companies on a project-by-project basis with values design too.

The below is a high level approach of how we would structure this project to achieve your goals over a 4 week timeline.

1. Org wide comms

📝 Message: why are we doing this, why now, how we will avoid this being words on a wall

👉 Craft the comms

2. Concise Powerful Survey

📝 Content: focusing on behaviours and collaboration, what is holding us back, what should we protect

👉 Design typeform survey and comms (slack + email)
