The 45 Steps Program

Turning Culture into Action

Some of the amazing clients we’ve worked with:

Transform Culture Into Action

The 45 Steps Program turns the abstract concept of culture change into clear, actionable steps. We help organisations define behaviours, instil values, and build systems that drive productivity and engagement.

Unlike fleeting trends, our hands-on approach ensures cultural transformation is implemented and sustained, even executing steps on your behalf if needed.

How the 45 Steps Program Works

Breaking Culture into Actionable Steps

Culture can feel high-level and intangible, but we make it practical by breaking it down into behaviours, values, and reinforcing systems:

  • Behaviours drive productivity—we define and embed the actions that create a thriving workplace.

  • Values act as the distilled essence of culture—we ensure they align with business goals and employee engagement.

  • Systems reinforce behaviours and values—we build structures that sustain cultural change and keep teams aligned.

Once these elements are defined, we translate them into a step-by-step roadmap, making culture change clear, structured, and easy to follow.

Culture Assessment & Strategy

A winning culture starts with understanding where you are today. We:

  • Conduct in-depth cultural assessments to uncover strengths and improvement areas.

  • Develop a tailored roadmap based on your organisation’s unique goals and values.

  • Share industry best practices to help you build a competitive, people-first culture.

Employee Engagement & Retention

Happy, engaged employees perform at their best. We help you:

  • Implement practical strategies to boost motivation, job satisfaction, and collaboration.

  • Develop programs that reinforce loyalty and reduce turnover rates.

  • Measure employee sentiment and engagement to track real progress over time.

Leadership Development & Training

Empowered leaders create thriving workplaces. Our experts provide:

  • Leadership coaching and mentoring to help managers lead with confidence.

  • Tailored training on communication, decision-making, and resilience.

  • Strategies to equip managers with the tools to foster engagement and team cohesion.

Sustaining Momentum & Execution

Culture change doesn’t stop after the first steps—it must be continuously reinforced. We ensure long-term success by:

  • Maintaining momentum through ongoing initiatives that embed cultural values into daily operations.

  • Projecting culture across the organisation, ensuring it is consistently reflected in leadership, teams, and decision-making.

  • Executing on behalf of our clients, supporting companies that may not have the internal capacity to manage every step of the process.
