This masterclass explores the alignment between an organisation’s values (“talk”) and actions (“walk”). Using a tailored framework, participants will assess systems and processes, uncover gaps, and co-develop practical strategies to foster greater organisational consistency and coherence

The masterclass introduces a framework that investigates the underlying business philosophy of the organisation. Participants will examine the systems, structures, and processes to assess whether the organisation’s actions (“walk”) align with its stated values and intentions (“talk”).

By the end of the session, participants will gain a refreshed perspective on their organisation’s alignment between its talk and walk, with a focus on re-establishing better coherence. This facilitated masterclass draws on the tacit knowledge of the team and utilises the framework to co-develop practical strategies for realignment and greater organisational consistency.

This masterclass is designed for:

Leaders of all levels who are interested in how the organisational strategy and philosophy intersects with leadership behaviour to create alignment or misalignment and the consequences of both.  Other roles which would benefit from this course include HR and Organisational Development Professionals, Change Management Professionals Board Members and Advisors and any individuals responsible for providing oversight and guidance to ensure the organisation’s long-term alignment and success.

On successful completion of this masterclass, participants will be able to:

• Understand the importance of aligning the organisation’s vision, mission, and core values with its actions and behaviours.
• Recognise signs of misalignment or “drift” within the organisation and understand the potential long-term impacts of leaving it unaddressed.
• Apply a structured framework to investigate the organisation’s business philosophy and assess whether its “talk” aligns with its “walk”.
• Apply leadership strategies that act as anchors to maintain organisational alignment and prevent future drift.
• Identify key areas for realignment and co-create practical strategies to ensure better organisational coherence.
