CULTURE DESIGN WORKSHOPS
FOR WHOLE ORGANIZATIONS OR TEAMS
Actively shape your culture.
With directly realizable results.
Purpose, values, priorities, rituals, and so on.
Many of the teams we have worked with have already held a workshop or two on these topics - but the results usually end up on some cloud server and are rarely put to good use.
Our approach: less is more. The main thing is that you have actionable to-dos afterwards that your leadership, teams and HR staff actually have the capacity for.
The outcomes of our culture design workshops are diverse and have an impact on processes, software, meetings, leadership, mindset and much more. Every culture is unique and has different starting points - which we work out together and divide into clear next steps.

THE CULTURE DESIGN CANVAS
The mindset of an organization can be recognized in so many places. Especially in hybrid teams, it is important to simply explain to new employees what makes the organization tick and what is expected of them. Transformation projects also require the buy-in of different hierarchy levels and their know-how.
In 1-3 workshop sessions, we use Gustavo Razzetti's Culture Design Canvas to work out your desired culture either with the entire team or with individual parts and leave the sessions with concrete next steps.
The canvas is a great start to initiate changes to the culture and is a great addition to our workshop series.

CULTURE DESIGN: SO YOUR VALUES DON'T JUST LIVE ON A POSTER
Many organisations have articulated their values and cultural principles. Printed them on posters. Built them into onboarding. And then? Often, not much changes. Day-to-day life catches up with the best intentions. Meetings run the same as always. Decisions are made the same way. And at some point, nobody asks anymore whether what's actually happening matches what was hoped for.
This isn't failure – it's the normal outcome when culture isn't actively shaped. And that's precisely where our Culture Design Workshop comes in.
CULTURE CHANGES IN SMALL STEPS – NOT IN BIG SEMINARS
Cultural transformation is not a project you complete once. It's a continuous process that starts small: in the rituals you maintain. In the decisions you make every day. In what you celebrate – and what you tolerate.
Our approach is built on the Culture Design Canvas by Gustavo Razzetti – one of the world's leading frameworks for intentional culture building. Together we work through: Where does your culture stand today? Where do you want it to go? And what are the concrete, actionable next steps that genuinely fit your day-to-day capacity?
No culture change on paper. No whitepaper that disappears into a drawer. Just clear, realistic actions for leadership, HR and teams.
FOR TEAMS IN TRANSITION – AND FOR TEAMS WHO WANT TO WORK BETTER TOGETHER
You've been through a phase of rapid growth and feel the culture hasn't kept pace. You've merged, restructured or scaled, and notice that different cultures are colliding. You work remotely or hybrid and are asking what that means for how you work together. Or you simply want to be more deliberate about your working culture – before dissatisfaction becomes visible.
In all of these situations, a Culture Design Workshop is the right first step.
We work with entire organisations as well as individual teams – depending on where the energy and need for change is greatest.
With consultants, trainers and coaches located in Berlin and Lisbon, we are supporting teams all over Europe.
WHAT'S DIFFERENT AFTER THE WORKSHOP
After our workshop, you won't have a beautiful collection of sticky notes you'll never look at again. You'll have:
A clear picture of where your culture stands today – with an honest as-is analysis.
A collectively developed target culture that's genuinely yours – not copied from another company.
Concrete measures with clear owners that fit into your existing routines.
A shared vocabulary that makes culture topics tangible and discussable within your team.
And: the commitment that emerges when leadership and team have worked on culture together – rather than having it handed down from above.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
What is the Culture Design Canvas?
The Culture Design Canvas is a framework by Gustavo Razzetti (Fearless Culture) that helps organisations reflect on and actively shape their culture. It covers dimensions including values, rituals, behaviours, decision-making processes and more.
How long does a Culture Design Workshop take?
That depends on the scope. A compact workshop can cover half a day; for deeper culture work we recommend 1–2 days – or a multi-session workshop series. We discuss this together in advance.
How many participants can take part?
Our Culture Design Workshops work for individual teams as well as cross-departmental groups. For larger organisations, we design multi-stage formats.
Can the workshop be run remotely?
Yes. We use MURAL online whiteboards to work in a highly collaborative and visual way even in a remote setting. Hybrid or on-site formats are also available.
What happens after the workshop?
You leave with concrete actions and a plan. If you'd like, we can also support you through implementation – with follow-up sessions, coaching or further workshops.
Is a culture design workshop useful for startups?
Absolutely. Especially during a growth phase, when new people join and structures are forming, being intentional about culture is crucial. The earlier you start, the less effort you'll need to fix it later.
