Organizational development and consulting
CultureQuest Consulting has helped individual and organizational clients using a combination of coaching and consulting. CultureQuest works with managers and employees to help them become more creative, productive, and committed. We provide customized programs and specialize in the use of creative, tested methodologies that facilitate cultural transformation. All of our programs integrate a variety of learning techniques that provide a greater long-term impact on the participants, and in turn, the organization.
For more than twenty years, the leaders at CultureQuest have been designing programs that help clients:
- Attract and keep talented people
- Reorganize and create values-driven teams
- Transform corporate cultures through the creation of values-driven organizations
At CultureQuest, every program is tailored to directly impact an individual’s ability to achieve his or her own performance goals and to contribute to the team’s overall performance objectives. We design our programs to help increase effective communication, accountability, and employee fulfillment, which reduces costly employee turnover. Every program is available in English or Spanish.
Individual and team coaching
Coaching is a powerful, collaborative relationship designed to spark an individual or team to achieve highly sustainable results that are aligned with their goals, passions, and values. Using tools such as the Individual Values Assessment, the Enneagram, and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the coach and the individual (or team) work together to develop a keen sense of self-awareness and mastery of interpersonal competency. This systematic approach to discovery, goal setting, and strategic action maximizes human potential and benefits both the individual and the organization.
Leadership and team development
At CultureQuest, we believe that developing the leadership team is an essential step in the process of creating long-lasting, viable organizations. We are committed to first establishing a cohesive understanding among the executive team by working with their individual values and leadership styles. Studies show that people who are allowed to bring their full selves to work are more creative, productive, and committed to the well being of the overall organization.
In working with the leadership team our intentions are: self-awareness, team cohesion, understanding of direction, and implementation. We facilitate this process using either the Leadership or Team Values Assessment. We then begin to carefully interweave experiential learning, emotional intelligence, appreciative inquiry, and conflict resolution to create an environment for discovery, experience, learning, aha!’s, and action that applies in the work place.
Mission/Vision strategic planning
“I think many people assume, wrongly, that a company exists simply to make money. While this is an important result of a company’s existence, we have to go deeper and find the real reasons for our being.”
- David Packard, Hewlett-Packard
Mission, vision, and strategic planning are about understanding how to build a values-driven culture by exploring the relationships between values, corporate culture, and financial performance. Once core values are defined, CultureQuest can assist in the creation of an organizational vision through a process that supports the leadership team in accurately describing the deepest level of their organization’s purpose, and how it will find its fulfillment.
CultureQuest also helps clients define a mission statement that helps to hold the organization on course and stay focused on its vision and true purpose. Finally, we’ll work with you to develop a strategic plan that is directly tied to your mission and vision and supported by your values. This road map keeps everyone going in the same direction and working toward the same goals.

We use a range of assessment tools to establish benchmarks and evaluate your organization’s progress over time. We know that the creation of cultural capital is an ongoing process and a long-term commitment.
