The Culture Lab at Ankura

Culture Shares a Broad Range of Business Outcomes

Culture is a complex ecosystem. It shapes employee behavior but is also shaped by employees. Culture drives financial and operational performance but is also a governance and compliance responsibility. Culture enriches experiences, fosters inclusivity, activates engagement, and accelerates execution. Companies that design their culture with purpose succeed.

The Culture Lab at Ankura draws upon decades of experience collaborating with HR Leaders and Executive Teams of large, public, and private companies to create high-performance organizations built for growth. By blending our multidisciplinary expertise, data insights, and proven framework for change, we help our clients define their vision and build internal capability to create a magnetic, high-performing culture. 

Selected Services

Whether you’re looking to articulate your company’s mission and values, embark on a full-scale organizational redesign, or need to do a targeted intervention with a workshop or talent audit, the experts at Ankura have lived it before and can help you achieve your goals.

Culture Executive Summit

Buy-in is essential. We convene executive leadership to collectively understand what it takes to create a high-performance culture and promote “informed commitment” to the culture-shaping process necessary to achieve it.

Culture Action Planning

The Culture Action Planning Session is an intensive and interactive planning experience for the principal champions and implementers of a culture-shaping, integration, or transformation initiative.

Hiring and Retention Audit

Finding and retaining great talent is the lifeblood of every organization. We help you understand and remediate the visible and hidden barriers that may exist for your organization to ensure that you can find and keep the employees you want.

Your Purpose Statements - Clarifying Workshop

Company defining statements can often be confusing, yet a coherent hierarchy of statements is integral to sustaining a performance culture. We bring it all together in a way that helps you clarify your purpose and align it with execution in a scalable way.

Human Equity Value (HEV) Audit

HEV provides the tools and visibility for executive management to track and improve value creation across the talent life cycle and act intelligently on the most impactful drivers.
