The culture blueprint that is fueling change in the world’s leading organizations



A healthy organizational culture provides an enormous competitive advantage. Yet only 15% of companies that embark on the important journey to build healthier cultures succeed at doing so.

i4cp’s Culture Renovation® 18-step blueprint, in use by organizations large and small and including government agencies, military organizations, and more, draws on ground-breaking original research (the largest study ever conducted on organizational culture change), multiple corporate examples, and advice from top business leaders.

i4cp Advisory Services helps you put these 18 steps into action and chart a course to build an unshakeable company.

What does a successful culture renovation look like?

When leaders reference a “culture transformation,” they’re often talking about rebuilding from the ground up. But that isn’t what works. A successful culture renovation is about identifying the cultural features that currently make your business unique and hard to replace, enhancing those features, and building to improve future value—just like renovating a beautiful historic house. The 18 research-driven steps include:

Step #1

Develop and deploy a comprehensive employee listening strategy

Step #5

Identify the influencers and energizers who are instrumental in successful change

Step #8

Ferret out the skeptics and non-believers who typically derail best intentions

Step #13 - 18

Implement talent processes to ensure change is sustained long-term
