Organisational Core Ideology Development 

Why Core Ideology Matters

• Aligns your team with a common purpose: A unified vision motivates and guides everyone towards shared goals.
• Sharpens organisational focus and direction: Clear objectives streamline decision-making and strategic planning.
• Cultivates a strong, positive corporate culture: Shared values foster a cohesive and supportive work environment.

How Our Online Service Transforms Your Organisation

Our unique online facilitation service is designed to comprehensively distill your team's collective wisdom into a powerful Core Ideology. We understand that an organisation's Vision, Mission, Purpose, and Core Values are not just statements; they are the pillars that define its essence and direction.

Comprehensive Assessments:

• Separate Interactive Quizzes for Each Core Component: We provide four targeted quizzes, each one could be completed in 15-20 minutes, with questions focused on a specific aspect of your Core Ideology. This ensures a focused and in-depth exploration of each area:

  • Vision Quiz: Where does your organisation aspire to be in the future? This quiz gathers your team's long-term goals and aspirations.
  • Mission Quiz: What does your organisation do, and whom does it serve? This quiz helps articulate the daily operations and the overarching objectives that drive your work.
  • Purpose Quiz: Why does your organisation exist beyond its economic value? This quiz explores the deeper reasons behind your organisation's activities.
  • Core Values Quiz: What principles guide your organisation's culture and decision-making? This quiz clarifies the fundamental beliefs and ethics that your team holds dear.

• Inclusive Process: Every member of your team has the opportunity to contribute, ensuring that the resulting Core Ideology is a true reflection of your collective vision and values. By engaging your entire team, from leadership to new recruits, we ensure a democratic process where every voice can make a meaningful impact.

• Unearth Deep Insights: The responses from these quizzes are meticulously analysed to uncover the common threads that bind your team, as well as the unique perspectives that fuel innovation and growth within your organisation.

In-depth Analysis & Reports: After completing the quizzes, our specialists delve into the responses, conducting a rigorous analysis to produce detailed reports that transcend mere summaries. These reports are crafted to explore the commonalities and differences in your team's viewpoints, offering rich insights into the collective and individual perspectives that make up your organisation.

The findings provide a foundational basis for the development of authentic and resonant Vision, Mission, Purpose, and Core Values statements. It's imperative to us that every team member feels included and heard. Their opinions and ideas are captured through the quizzes, ensuring the Core Ideology reflects the true spirit and diversity of your entire organisation. This collaborative and inclusive approach lays the groundwork for a Core Ideology that genuinely represents your team and guides your organisation's future actions and decisions.

Facilitated Online Sessions: Our engagement extends into two interactive online sessions, each spanning two hours, where your leadership team collaborates to bring the Core Ideology to life. These sessions are designed to discuss, debate, and distil the findings from the quizzes into a cohesive and actionable Core Ideology. Our facilitation ensures that every voice is heard, fostering a sense of ownership and commitment to the defined principles. For those in New Zealand, the opportunity for in-person meetings adds an invaluable dimension of connection, allowing for an even richer collaborative experience.

• Purpose-Driven Mission: A succinct declaration of your organisational activities and the impact you aim to achieve. This Mission becomes the operational heartbeat of your organisation, driving daily actions and long-term initiatives.

• Resonant Purpose: A deep connection with your team's intrinsic motivations, the 'why' behind every 'what'. This Purpose energises and inspires your workforce, fostering a sense of fulfillment and engagement.

• Core Values: The compass that directs behaviour, decision-making, and cultural norms. These Values become the DNA of your organisation, shaping interactions and defining your identity in the marketplace.

Extended Benefits for the Organisation

• Enhanced Unity and Commitment: As your team co-creates the Core Ideology, a stronger bond forms, leading to enhanced commitment to the organisation’s goals.

• Strategic Alignment: With a clear Core Ideology, every department and team member moves in unison towards common objectives, ensuring strategic alignment across the organisation.

• Cultural Strength: A well-defined Core Ideology fortifies your organisational culture, making it a powerful factor in employee retention and attraction.

• Decision-Making Clarity: When Core Values are clear, decision-making becomes more straightforward, empowering leaders and teams to act confidently and in harmony with the organisation’s principles.

• Adaptive Resilience: An organisation with a strong Core Ideology is better equipped to adapt to change, using its Vision, Mission, Purpose, and Values as anchors in a shifting business landscape.

What to Expect

Step 1: Initial Connection

Contact Camelia Petrus, PGDip Organisational Psychology, via [email protected] to arrange a consultation call. This initial conversation will help us understand your unique needs and determine how our online facilitation can best serve you. Whether you're in Auckland or elsewhere, we can facilitate a productive virtual meeting. We’ll discuss your organisational history, goals, success metrics, and desired outcomes to tailor our service to your objectives. Following our conversation, you'll receive a customised proposal outlining the next steps.

Step 2: Proposal Delivery

After aligning on your needs, we’ll set a date for your online Core Ideology sessions. Our flexibility allows us to accommodate your team, ensuring everyone can participate and contribute to defining your organisation's Core Ideology.

Step 3 (Bonus): Emotional Culture Assessment

We utilise the Emotional Culture Index (ECI) to gauge the emotions present within your team. This survey reveals insights into workplace dynamics and uncovers underlying sentiments. Participation is open to all staff, and the results form part of the foundation for our facilitation. A comprehensive report and follow-up discussion will provide a deeper understanding of your team's emotional landscape.

Step 4: Pre-Session Engagement and Assessment

In the lead-up to our core facilitation, your team will be invited to complete a series of reflective quizzes that delve into the core aspects of your organisation's identity: Purpose, Vision, Mission, and Core Values. Distributed three weeks before our online sessions, these quizzes prompt thoughtful consideration and provide a structured avenue for every team member to voice their perspective.

Alongside this, if opted for, the Emotional Culture Index (ECI) will be distributed four weeks prior, offering additional insights into your team's emotional dynamics.

Step 5: Collaborative Online Core Ideology Development

Our online facilitation unfolds over two interactive sessions, each extending for two hours, accommodating the schedules of all participants. The first session is devoted to drafting and refining your Vision and Mission statements. A week before this session, we present the analysis from the ECI and quizzes to your leadership team, either in written format or a preparatory online meeting.

In our second session, we focus on establishing your Core Values. Each session is designed to be dynamic and inclusive, ensuring the final Core Ideology is a product of collective input and consensus. Following these sessions, you'll be equipped with detailed notes, the outcomes of our collaboration, and a template for a Core Ideology Poster to showcase your defined principles.

Step 6: Implementation and Integration

Following the online sessions, we'll assist in crafting an implementation strategy to embed your Core Ideology into everyday operations. This step includes creating an actionable plan with defined responsibilities and timelines, ensuring that your Core Ideology becomes an integral part of your organisational culture.

Step 7: Ongoing Support and Assessment

To measure the effectiveness of the Core Ideology, we offer a follow-up evaluation six months post-implementation. This review, including a second round of the ECI, helps track cultural shifts and reinforces the Core Ideology's role within your organisation. Optional staff training is available to further support this cultural transformation.
