Service & Expertise

Organisational Development and Design

Culture Assessment and Development

Kaya provides Culture Assessment and Development to organisations across Australia and New Zealand, applying organisational psychology to shift culture and support leaders managing change.

  • Diagnosis uses data from surveys, interviews and focus groups to establish what is actually happening, separating root causes from symptoms before solutions are designed.
  • Work follows a five stage methodology, with the final stage determining effectiveness so organisations can track whether a culture initiative is working and when they are ready for new initiatives.
  • A systems philosophy, the I, We, It and Our, links individuals, teams, organisational practices and the wider community so that improvements at one level ripple through the others.
  • Core solutions are grounded in research and 20 plus years of practice and are tailored to specific industries, organisations, leaders and teams.

Best for: Organisations dealing with underperformance, poor morale or ineffective teams that want culture change diagnosed with data and measured over time.
