The merger created a complex environment with varying performance levels and cultural norms. Leaders faced the task of unifying teams, driving substantial change, and building a positive, high-performing culture. Without a deliberate strategy, risks included fragmentation, disengagement, and inconsistent behaviours across the business. Two of the businesses were also experiencing financial losses upon merger.
Lysander worked with the executive to design and introduce the company’s DNA and helped teams connect with the vision for success and the behaviours required to bring it to life. Workshops guided teams through a reflective process – assessing current cohesion, surfacing vulnerabilities, and creating clear actions to strengthen collaboration. This approach equipped leaders to lead cultural change with confidence and clarity.
Team Culture and Performance workshops were rolled out across the entire business. Each intact team underwent a session which brought them together with their leader, creating a shared language and understanding. This en-masse approach became a powerful mechanism for embedding cultural alignment and accelerating transformation.
Culture shifted significantly. Engagement scores rose from 50 to 83 over several years, and business performance improved markedly. Over this period, the business doubled its revenue and maintained levels of profitability. The program delivered measurable impact-building leadership capability, fostering collaboration, and creating a culture that drives results.
