From Belief to Proof: Turning Culture into a Strategic Asset

How leaders measure, manage and sustain culture that delivers

View Previous Conference on 15th November | "Connection, Direction, Action: Transforming Winning Cultures"
Session Themes: Mindset & Behaviour Change, Culture Transformation, Learning

We all know culture matters—but what convinces your Board is proof. In this live session, you’ll see how people leaders are positioning their culture as one of their most valuable strategic assets, evidencing the link between culture and performance and moving beyond anecdotes and pulse scores to a robust, research driven system that stands up to scrutiny. You’ll learn how to quantify culture–strategy alignment (because it’s alignment, not either/or, that creates results), and how to translate findings into decisions leaders can back.

We’ll open the bonnet on a new, research led framework - developed with Hult International Business School and an advisory panel of CPOs - that combines robust employee and senior leader surveys with evidence review and culture–strategy alignment to give one clear picture of how your culture really works. We’ll get practical with a live case study from Be Caring: what they measure across the key dimensions, the shifts they’ve embedded since their transformation journey started, and how this is helping them sustain performance into the future.

What you’ll learn:
• How to prove culture’s impact in language other leaders trust.
• Where to focus first: interpreting scores, including future workplace readiness and purpose & values alignment and turning them into action people feel.
• Be Caring’s playbook, with practical steps, pitfalls and success patterns you can adapt for your organisation.
• How to build momentum post‑measurement to keep leaders and teams aligned.

If you’re a CPO, HRD or business leader who needs evidence that culture drives outcomes and supports sustainable business performance, you’ll leave with a guide to measure it, manage it and mobilise it.

The TCM Group is a leading and multi award-winning conflict management, culture change and leadership development consultancy. CEO David Liddle is author of two highly acclaimed books ‘Managing Conflict’ & ‘Transformational Culture’ Published by Kogan Page. His People and Culture Operating Model features the following core quadrants:

People: A collaborative approach that aligns workplace values and purpose with business needs while addressing the aspirations of the workforce. Studies show that 88% of employees are more likely to stay at a company that actively promotes a positive workplace culture (SHRM, 2022), highlighting the importance of a people-centred approach.

Culture: A commitment to co-creating a culture that is fair, just, inclusive, sustainable, and high-performing. Research indicates that inclusive workplaces see up to a 50% increase in team productivity and performance (Harvard Business Review, 2023), underscoring the power of transformational culture.

Strategy: A data-driven function that crafts a strategic narrative to drive individual, collective, and organisational success. Organisations using data-informed decision-making in their people strategies report up to a 25% improvement in productivity and retention rates (Deloitte, 2022).

Justice: A forward-looking approach that replaces outdated, punitive HR policies and practices with restorative and humane transformative justice. This quadrant emphasizes accountability, equity and respect, which studies show can reduce employee turnover by up to 23% (Diversio 2024).
