The document discusses how to understand and improve corporate culture through measuring its impact on business performance. It introduces BluPrints, a service that asks all employees what behaviors and practices need more or less emphasis to achieve the company's vision. BluPrints turns these insights into a formula of cultural icons that are regularly scored to track changes and focus improvement efforts. By involving all employees, BluPrints helps define, own, develop, measure and track positive cultural changes that benefit the business.

1. Understand how your culture affects
your bottom line and how to improve it.
Big companies always say our people are our greatest asset, but with most of them it’s just words.
They know the value of their computers and they track the depreciation. They have detailed financial
forecasts; but most of them have no idea why people are their greatest asset, they certainly don’t track
what makes them their greatest asset and consequently many do not know how best to nurture their
people so that they become ambassadors who manifest their brand. Corporates talk about culture and
they know it has something to do with behaviour and values and that it dramatically affects the bottom line
but often in the boardroom it is ignored because they can’t measure it.
Well BluPrints, defines it, measures it, tracks change and influences improvement.
BluPrints makes it possible to get a handle on culture and understand what it is, how it is affecting your
bottom line and how to improve it.
At BluPrints we ask everyone in your business to tell us what they need to do more of in order to be the
best ever place to work and to achieve your vision. Then we ask them what they need to do less of. We
crunch all that information into themes and get everyone to vote for the most important. When everyone is
happy that we have the most important factors, behaviours, practices and principles incorporated we turn
this into a formula, one that we can create icons for. It may look something like this.
Every 3 months everyone in the business scores how it’s going for each icon and we give you a report on
what you need to focus on most to really change for the better in a way that will have the most positive
effect on business. Each quarter we send you a micro formula of the most important things that quarter.
Everyone in the business affects the culture. Thus we involve everyone in the business in defining,
owning, developing, measuring and tracking change.
BluPrints involves all your people in crowd sourcing the problem and crowd sourcing the solution
