Build an inclusive, purpose-driven culture where the world’s best talent can thrive.

The global economy is an increasingly interdependent composite of the best ideas and products offered through worldwide talent. To attract, retain, and motivate this talent you need a unified vision and an inclusive organizational culture. This will allow you to build an effective, high-performing workforce and the innovative solutions that fuel your success.

At Exceptional Futures, we partner with world-class organizations and educational institutions to transform your organization’s culture and increase employee engagement and satisfaction. We offer organizational culture consulting and coaching in the following areas:

Cultural Transformation
Institutional Entrepreneurship and Reinvention
Career Development and Empowerment Strategies

Cultural Transformation

An organization’s strength comes from the culture it creates. We work with you to gain a better understanding of your organization’s existing norms and values. This allows us to spot opportunities and envision what’s possible, so we can help you create an organizational culture that’s truly exceptional. This work typically involves the following:

A survey of your culturally diverse teams to gain an appreciation of their values, norms, and shared agreements, so we can build awareness and increase engagement.
Qualitative assessments to illuminate any gaps between your desired culture and your existing day-to-day norms and actions.
Cultural identity coaching to help your team understand the value and importance of their unique contributions to your mission.
The development of a cultural transformation action plan. A step-by-step roadmap for how you will invest in and cultivate your desired organizational culture.

Institutional Entrepreneurship and Reinvention

For many institutions, what worked well in the past may not work well in an era of increasing volatility, uncertainty, change, and ambiguity. Institutions must adapt and reinvent themselves on a consistent basis to survive and thrive within the Fourth Industrial Revolution. We work with you to identify and navigate any necessary change by:

Collaborating with your team to clarify your organizational purpose and vision with respect to your culture and to determine how you will achieve that vision.
Mapping out your internal and external ecosystems and conducting a full assessment of your programs to determine their full potential.
Designing and executing launch strategies for new programs and services that incorporate a focus on equity and inclusivity.
Helping your leaders obtain the skills and strategies they need to create a culture of institutional entrepreneurship and innovation.

Career Development and Empowerment Strategies

Forward-thinking organizations value and inspire employee growth. We guide you in the creation of innovative career empowerment strategies that embrace 21st-century competencies, celebrate the intercultural workforce, and align with the future of work. Our techniques include:

A gap analysis to map out existing career development initiatives and to determine how they align with the core competencies that are necessary to thrive in the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The creation of customized career empowerment training programs that teach employees and their managers how to develop and invest in professional growth.
A refresh of outdated career exploration, development, and empowerment programs to ensure they support your focus on cultural competency.
