Commedia Partners and Conscient Strategies: creating long-lasting cultural impact and kickstarting change

Creating long-lasting cultural impact: developing the Team Dynamics and Culture You Want

Sure, you’re partnering with us for what will no doubt be a fun event, complete with insights and takeaways that will fully unite your team and have it re-emerging energized, engaged, and transformed, and more closely united around organizational goals. In short: a team, one ready to meet the challenges that lie ahead.

But how can you make sure the lessons and takeaways of your improv event “stick?” How will you ensure that the improv experience actually changes the day-to-day interactions and culture in your firm? How do you reinforce the behaviors you want?  Listening skills, silo smashing and interdepartmental collaboration and coordination, creative problem solving – whatever new behaviors you hope to see need to be consistently applied and reinforced. Dramatically increase the standard 10% of training that employees remember.

Kickstarting change:

You are implementing a new strategy, integrating two organizations following a merger, in the midst of a transition in leadership, or working to maintain relevance in the marketplace. How do you ensure that your culture and people come along and drive success? Most of the time, the failure of employees to embrace the change fully prevents you from achieving the envisioned success. For example, only 70-90% of mergers reach their goals, and what trips up success is that the people are not managed with the same attention as the accounting, technology and legal considerations.

Improv is a great way to kickstart your change process. It’s fun and instructive; it highlights many of the issues that employees often don’t want to see, and it begins to bring your team together. And once you have a tremendous start, continuing to embed and manage the change is easier and faster.
