Launch a cultural transformation in three simple steps

Declaration of Independence vision — Substitute the word “Company Culture” for the word “World”.

Wrote this to help a client envision what working with a Disney Business Advisor will look like…

Launch a holistic cultural transformation in three primary steps to ensure buy-in and unification.

Prelude from jeff:

VISION: To demonstrate & enlighten participants with the power of world-class cultural architecture
MISSION: To use 30 years Disney expertise to showcase what is self-evident & irrefutable
BRAND: To fill each participant with perpetual hope
CUSTOMER: Every single employee is important
(BONUS: Every session is packed with remarkable insight, energy, engagement, passion & fun)

1. Executive engagement

Executive & Senior Leaders
Two day agenda
70/30 content focus (Disney/Yours)
Content: Leadership Chain of Excellence
Deliverables: Vision, architecture, accountability, unity, buy-in

2. Leadership engagement

All salaried leaders, including executive team
Two day agenda
70/30 content focus (Disney/Yours)
Content: Leadership Chain of Excellence
Deliverables: Vision, architecture, accountability, unity, buy-in, tools

3. Front line engagement

All front line employees, including executive team
One day agenda (may require multiple days to reach all employees)
30/70 content focus (Disney/Yours)
Content: Customers, Reputation, Improvement
Deliverables: Vision, architecture, accountability, tools, hope, pride

Specialty engagement (if needed)

Special Employee Group (Vendors, Contract Employees, Physicians, etc), plus executive team
Four-hour agenda commitment
70/30 content focus (Disney/Yours)
Content: Leadership Chain of Excellence
Key Deliverables: Hope, unity, buy-in, vision, architecture, accountability, tools

Value-driven engagement fees:

Single-event engagement schedule (Leadership Retreat):

$33k One day engagement
$28k Half-day engagement

Multiple engagements schedule (Cultural Transformation):

$33k/day 1st Engagement (2 days = $66k)
$28k/day 2nd Engagement (2 days = $56k)
$26k 3rd Engagement (1 day = $26k)
$23k 4th Engagement (1 day = $23k)
$18k 5th-10th Engagement (per day = $18k)

Assumptions:

You only work with the owner (jeff) so you are getting the very best every time
You are one of a select group (jeff typically averages five or less clients per year)
Typical cross-section for pre-transformation commitment levels is roughly 20-60-20.
20% – “Let’s go”
60% – “I’ll wait and see”
20% – “It’ll never work”
Some industries, like Healthcare, may have a fourth layer of employees; in this case Physicians.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Would life change simply by journalling everyday?

Would life change simply by journalling everyday?

Odds are significant (maybe 100%) that you could be bold enough to say, “Yes, definitely. Guaranteed.”

Each day that passes, five more blog posts get added to the total. This post is number five for today, bringing the total to 12,707.

The long way is the short cut.

Update: Fast forward to today (March 26), add 500 more posts because this was written 100 days ago. So, now there are 13,202 public posts. Sick.

The first sentence is very telling

Disney Institute blog post — Yesterday on Facebook.

If the above statistic is accurate and 70% actually fail, i’d like to offer an expert observation that is going to suggest a much higher percentage for cultural transformation.

It’s more like 99% that fail.

The difference in numbers is easy.

Organizational change is one thing.

Cultural transformation is entirely another.

A small percentage of people take up running, and stay with it for a few years.

An even smaller percentage take up running and run until they die.

It’s our job as the chief executive

Our mind, body and spirit are our responsibility.

As challenging as it is to manage this for a lifetime, we really can not expect things to get better or easier by using procrastination or quitting.

Seriously. Can we?

Life’s ~~a bitch~~ full of challenges.

This also is not a secret.

And it’s our job to be the exception.

The future is even brighter

(photo: Screen shot from Facebook… intense, but not too graphic message that texting can cause death to innocent people… a grim reminder that material stuff doesn’t matter)

Just two days after the Summer solstice, a significant realization occurred.

Every October 1, moving forward, life will continue to get better.

For each of us.

If we are organized enough to lighten our burdens.

Purge… slowly and steadily.

Stuff doesn’t matter.
