Live the Culture

Going beyond the Values Slide

Organizational values are often reduced to bullet points in a presentation rather than serving as a true guide for decision-making and a foundation for the company culture. Too often, the extent of values exposure means occasionally defining abstract principles or reciting expected behaviors. This misses a rich opportunity for personalized discovery.

Every team member has unique strengths to embody values daily through their working styles, collaborative actions, and leadership communications to shape positive outcomes.

This immersive learning experience provides a creative stage for professionals to identify and hone their personal value propositions – recognizing individual and collective power to translate principles into tangible behaviors that uplift culture and performance.

The Values On-their-Feet Challenge: Working in cohorts of ten, the teams create a two-minute group “informances” that demonstrates organizational principles and values in action, making them conspicuously visible through enacted workplace behaviors and relationships. This collective problem-solving workshop challenges teams to transform the values from abstract ideas into recognizable and real behaviors. Drawing inspiration from theater, cohorts will outline, direct, and
perform two-minute group “commercials” that demonstrate an assigned KPMG value and how to live it.

During the hands-on process, participants will have the opportunity to apply their values in action and use the experience to reflect on their strengths and weaknesses. The aim of the session is to help participants become more intentional in letting their values guide their communication, relationships, and problem-solving skills by directly experiencing how values can spark solutions.
