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.

CULTURE ASSESSMENT

We can rapidly evaluate our clients’ current state culture and the boosters and blockers to achieve 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.

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.
​

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.

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.

FUTURE OF WORK

​We help companies consider the operating models for their people organizations that will support the future of work, their culture and strategy. Today, people work together across functions and timezones, remote, in-person or hybrid. We help organizations align, support and develop these new flexible operating models and create engaging employee experiences no matter the mode in which they are working!

FUTURE 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 meetings and team charters, agreeing on ways to give and receive feedback, and developing team communication protocols are just a few of the ways that FLYN helps organizations thrive.

THE EMPLOYEE OF TOMORROW

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 and support the employee of tomorrow’s experience. From recruitment to exit, we believe that each step along their path should be centered around the employee’s needs, helping build upon the company’s culture, and maximize performance.

Develop Leaders & Changemakers

Today’s leaders are expected to lead their teams and organizations through constant change, and build organizational and individual resilience in the process. Over the years we’ve developed programs that not only teach the critical skills needed for our future leaders, like empathy and authentic leadership, but focus on the inspiration, growth, and well-being of the individual that’s needed as the foundation for their success. 

COACHING - GROUP & INDIVIDUAL

Whether individual 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 cohort coaching groups, cross-organizational cohorts, and personalized 1:1 executive coaching.

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, managing change, and innovation..​

As innovation experts, we specialize in bringing design thinking to all parts of the organization. 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.

LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

At FLYN we help leaders at all stages of their journey. We develop them through a broad spectrum of offerings including: keynotes, inspiration events, innovative leadership development programs and coaching. We inspire, connect, motivate and grow these changemakers to prepare them for the challenges they will all face as they continue to evolve. FLYN offers many of these programs both as standalone for individuals to join or custom developed for a single organization to run internally.

MANAGERS
Managers are the core of any company. And successful organizations know that they need managers who are informed, enabled and empowered to help move their goals forward. Our manager programs target the specific needs of managers including: business acumen, leading through change, giving and receiving feedback, coaching and empathy.

HR LEADERS

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

Inspire & Connect

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.

JOURNEYS

Our flagship event, the FLYN Inspiration Journey, centers on visiting organizations that we can learn from about creating good cultures and innovation in the workplace. FLYN Inspiration Journeys expose leaders to new practices and unleash the potential of their organizations and people. During this behind-the-scenes exploration, our host companies’ leaders 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 distill these insights into tangible steps that will help our journey-goers transform their business when they return to work. They will be energized and equipped to go from inspiration to action.

FACILITATION

Good facilitation consists of one part art and one part science. There’s a method and cadence to facilitation, and good outcomes are reached when everyone is engaged and the goals of the session are realized, inspiring teams to move ideas into actions. FLYN has decades of experience facilitating workshops, team offsites, ideation sessions, charter creations, purpose development, learning journey downloads and a myriad of other meetings that have led to greater outcomes.
