THE
CULTURE

CANVAS

MAKING TEAM CULTURE ACTIONABLE

SHAPING TEAM CULTURE

The future of work is happening, presenting countless possibilities to work smarter. Teams become distributed, people work from home, and there’s an app for literally everything.

At the same time, we see organizations struggle. Trapped inside inboxes and meeting rooms, we fight for a better work-life balance. That’s why it’s time to change the way we work together.

Backed-up by research, our own experiences with global clients, and common sense,we’ve created the Culture Canvas: Making culture actionable to help you shape your team’s culture.

THE CULTURE CANVAS

WHY DOES THE CULTURE CANVAS EXIST?

As part of the CoCreate2Accelerate program of the Dutch Consulate General in Cape Town, we took on the social challenge to deconstruct the future of working.

We found it’s not about more or better technology. It’s about people, team dynamics and company culture.

Most importantly, it led us to the question:

WHERE DO YOU START?

WHAT IS THE CULTURE CANVAS FOR?

THE CULTURE CANVAS IS FOR MANAGERS, TEAMS AND ORGANIZATIONS WHO:

Crave a better work-life balance without losing productivity,

Want to (re)shape culture, and come to better working agreements.

Struggle with working distributed, remotely, and/or in multiple timezones

HOW DOES THE CULTURE CANVAS WORK

THE CULTURE CANVAS IS AN OPEN FRAMEWORK TO MAKE CULTURE ACTIONABLE.

Focussing on the obvious, but often overlooked. We’ve identified 10 blocks, each with a set of questions to help you find the right answers for your team or organization.

Starting the conversation on how you do things, without telling you what to do. Because there’s no one-size-fits-all. This allows you find what works for you, instead of what works somewhere else.

Being viral. Once you’ve used the Culture Canvas for your team, you’ll learn how to use it for collaborating with other teams, with clients and for projects.

WHERE IS THE CULTURE CANVAS ALREADY USED

HUNDREDS OF COMPANIES HAVE DOWNLOADED THE EBOOK AROUND THE WORLD.
