How to Move Values from the Wall to the Work

Team values feel like corporate fluff? Turn them into lived behaviors and norms.

About this session

Many company values exist only as posters or slogans that bear little resemblance to how work actually gets done. This session bridges that gap by requiring teams to translate abstract principles into specific, observable behaviors and operational norms they can use in daily decision-making.

Why it works

The process works by shifting the focus from definitions to application, forcing participants to confront the friction between aspirational values and current habits. By collaboratively deciding what to start, stop, and continue doing, the team builds a shared accountability that turns values into a functional tool for the group.

What you’ll walk away with

  • Clear actionable outcomes from a 4-step facilitated process
  • Increased participant engagement and buy-in
  • Documented decisions and next steps
  • Improved team alignment on the topic

Who it’s for

Team Leaders, HR Professionals
