From Posters to Practice: Defining Core Behaviors

Stop the 'values on a wall' syndrome. Define the specific behaviors that make your values real.

About this session

Company values often remain abstract slogans that fail to influence daily work or decision-making. This workshop transitions from high-level concepts to concrete actions by having teams define exactly what a value looks like during a meeting, a conflict, or a project. Participants leave with a documented set of behaviors that serve as a practical guide for performance and team culture.

Why it works

The process works by shifting the focus from philosophical debate to observable reality, requiring participants to translate broad nouns into specific, repeatable actions. By involving the team in the drafting process, the session replaces top-down mandates with peer-defined standards that are more likely to be adopted in everyday practice.

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
