Good Culture ​

​We help our clients create cultures where their people can do their best work and thrive. Using proven innovation tools and methodologies we help organizations leapfrog from current state to the future state that aligns with their business strategy. We’ve helped our clients do everything from create their culture from scratch to nudge their culture to better support the future direction of their business.

​STRATEGY

​We help clients define their overall and people strategies and align their culture so that how the work gets done supports the business.

CULTURE ASSESSMENT

We can rapidly evaluate our clients’ current state culture and the boosters and blockers to achieving higher performance through a design thinking “mirror” technique. This helps our clients evaluate where they are and set them on a path toward moving their culture forward.

OPERATIONALIZING CULTURE

We help companies “live” their culture. Sometimes it takes a complete kickstart. Sometimes small, well-planned nudges do the trick. Making the culture stand up takes careful planning and execution. It takes naming and empowering champions who will see it through and be willing to measure and modify it based on continuous feedback from the organization.

CULTURE DEFINITION

​Companies can’t “live” their culture if they can’t name it. We help companies define their overall purpose, vision, mission and values to inspire and motivate employees, align & measure overall goals, and define organizational behaviors.

GREAT TEAMS

It’s simple - great teams boost company performance. And great teams mean that team members have clear, shared objectives, are transparent, have guardrails and collaborate tirelessly. We help companies with team building, operations, charters and even interventions, when necessary (and sometimes it’s necessary).

Workplace Innovation

We are innovation practitioners who are passionate about the workplace. We apply design thinking techniques to every corner of your business to help you create innovative people practices and ways of working that enable your strategy and engage your people.

UPSKILLING HR

HR is changing. No longer an organization focused on driving employee compliance, it’s now focused on cultivating organizational leadership and enhancing workplace culture. We help HR professionals shift their skills and mindsets to support a future workforce that is moving away from being transactional to being strategic business partners. Soft skills, consulting skills, and supporting non-traditional teams are all a part of how we create customized workforce management solutions.

WAYS OF WORKING

We focus on assessing and redesigning practices in the organization that unlock efficiency and effectiveness. This includes the way the work gets done - through meetings, feedback, teaming, decision making and communication. Creating meeting charters, agreeing on ways to give and receive feedback, and developing communication protocols for teams are just a few of the ways that FLYN helps organizations be more productive.

FUTURE OF HR

As HR organizations shift from supporting to partnering, we help companies consider the operating models for their people organizations that will support the future of work. Today people work together across functions to create new ways of working. Flexibility is essential as ad hoc teams form around projects and can be staffed by people with the right skill sets rather than from a specific department. We help people organizations align, support and develop these new flexible operating models. 

EMPLOYEE JOURNEY INNOVATION

As skilled innovation practitioners, we use design thinking tools and techniques to reimagine people processes and programs along the employee lifecycle. We take a people-centered approach to internal processes and map them to the employee journey in order to improve the overall employee experience. From recruitment through to exiting and becoming an “alumni” we believe that each step along the path should be centered around the employee’s needs, help build upon the company’s culture, and improve competitive advantage. 

Future Skills

We are not precious about our knowledge and love to share it. We deliver true experiential learning experiences and coaching on a wide range of topics relevant to leaders in organizations, specifically needed to build for the future. We specialize in building the organizational capability that enables creativity and innovation across the organization. These offerings can be delivered stand-alone or as part of a larger long-term development program. 

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Successful organizations need leaders at all levels. Leaders who are informed, enabled and empowered help to move a company’s goals forward. We develop future leaders through a broad spectrum of offerings including: keynotes, inspiration events, innovative leadership development programs and coaching.

CUSTOMIZED FUTURE SKILLS TRAINING

At FLYN we love helping our clients develop skills that they need to enable their workforce to do the work of the future. Hard skills are important, but more and more we recognize the competitive advantage that soft skills can bring. Our focus areas for these future skills includes: facilitation, storytelling, empathy, experimentation, problem-solving, agility, and managing change.

INNOVATION SKILLS

Innovation is more than a buzzword - it’s  a necessity. Having great ideas doesn’t qualify. It’s the systematic implementation of those great ideas that leads to results. We help companies drive organizational and individual innovation capability through comprehensive innovation services. These include: fundamentals training, coached innovation projects (including sprints), journey mapping, innovation workshops, ideation sessions & hackathons.

COACHING

Whether 1 on 1 or part of a group, coaching is a useful tool that can be used for standalone development or as part of a larger development program. We’ve created a variety of innovative coaching tools and structures to meet the specific needs of our clients, including facilitated peer coaching groups, cross-organizational cohorts, and personalized executive coaching.

Inspiration Events, Workshops & Speaking

Our inspiration events help to break our clients out of their current thinking and give them inspiration for the future. We create “open” events and workshops for any individual to join and custom events for specific client teams. We also speak on a number of culture-related topics to help kick-start and motivate your organization. Many of these ideas can be combined into a longer event or program, or inserted into a development program or project as needed to support inspiration and growth.

INSPIRATION JOURNEY

Our flagship event, an Inspiration Fieldtrip or Journey can include many of the below elements, but centers around visiting organizations that we can learn from on the chosen theme. FLYN Inspiration Journeys expose leaders to innovative workplace practices and unleash the potential of their organizations and people. We bring together motivated leaders on a behind-the-scenes exploration into highly successful organizations. Executives at these host organizations share with us firsthand what they are doing to achieve their future organization performance ambitions—what's working for them, what didn't, and why! (Forget a "think tank." This is an action tank!) Together we unearth fresh thinking and promising methodologies through candid conversations and hands-on, active learning. Throughout these journeys we help our clients distill these insights into tangible steps that will help them transform their business when they return to work. They will be energized and equipped to go from Inspiration to Action.

INSPIRATION EVENTS

We get creative when it comes to inspiration! We've done anything from "Access" events where we bring together speakers on a theme to "UnPanels" that give 'speed-dating' type access to leaders, to "Safaris" where we send teams out into the wild to find their inspiration through exploration. And we can wrap all of this into a workshop or a program to pull out learnings and forward your thinking.
