Pros
The market for Culture Partners' type of service (consulting about Organizational Culture, helping to diagnose culture problems and improve culture) is exploding. This is partly due to the "Great Resignation" and partly due to a longer and older trend of CEOs becoming more focused on Culture. There is no clear, dominant leader in this market category. The players are McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Deloitte, Accenture, PwC, and a number of smaller, specialist firms. Culture Partners is at the large end of the "small firm" category in this space. Recent, big changes of the business model, product offering and management team have unlocked some growth potential. Working here means a lot of autonomy, 100% work from home if you want that, and a chance to see your work concretely help clients. Our clients' employees experience less stress and more clarity / sense of purpose at work when they work with us.
Cons
The degree and pace of change in the last 12 months has been challenging and has made some people uncomfortable. Sometimes we struggle to keep clear on our specific priorities, even with the best intentions. We ask people for honest feedback regularly, and not all the feedback is appreciative/ positive. Getting constructive feedback is stressful for everyone, but we ask everyone to accept it and we try to deliver it with professionalism and concern for the individual. But it is direct and unvarnished. I also wish we had more ethnic diversity here. We have a lot of other aspects of diversity - including a very wide variety of opinions on any topic, and they're all valued - but I would personally like to see more ethnic diversity. I know we would value that as a Company.
