The Business Culture Scan ©
Business cultures are formed by complex intergenerational relations and social memes. The whole is bigger than the sum of its members and their actions. That is why data alone cannot tell the whole story.
The BLOCKBUSTERS Culture Scan © is a way to audit your business culture: flag, report, and quickly intervene on systemic/people risks.
WHY THE BUSINESS CULTURE SCAN ©?
70-90% of companywide re-structurings fail due to cultural factors. The Business Culture scan empowers leadership teams, consultancies, and project managers to adjust their project implementation to meet all stakeholder needs:
BOOST AWARENESS
SUPPORT A TRANSITION
REINFORCE CHANGE
ORIGINS OF THE BUSINESS CULTURE SCAN ©
The Business Culture Scan © was developed to tap into the deeper layers of business change, transformation, and restructurings. Since change starts with the people, we have specialized in the emotional, relational, and systemic undercurrents (in bold, see below). This means our scan adds value to fact-based consultants/leadership teams.
RESULTS/SYMPTOMS/SUCCESS/IMPACT | Success or lack thereof comes from cultural blindspots. |
PROCESSES/STRATEGIES/TASKS/GOALS | See the big picture: where and how do we deliver what? |
PSYCHODYNAMICS/COMMUNICATION | Connect the dots: how do we meet in diversity/conflict? |
INTERACTIONS/INTER-RELATIONS | What internal tensions and institutional dynamics play? |
SYSTEMIC/CULTURAL/SOCIETAL | How is today's reality influenced by our history/culture? |
SPIRITUAL/SHAMAN/ARCHETYPES | How do we nurture the earth's rhythm of life and death? |
The BLOCKBUSTERS Business Culture Scan © is developed to manage underlying systemic and human dynamics with:
MERGERS AND ACQUISITIONS
CULTURE AND ENGAGEMENT
INVESTMENTS AND PORTFOLIOS
CORPORATE RESPONSABILITY
STRATEGIC RESTRUCTURINGS
INDUSTRYWIDE INNOVATION
ABOUT THE BUSINESS CULTURE SCAN ©
With the Business Culture Scan © we relate and map your organization's issues (left) based on how in/external stakeholder experience them (right). This is how we find the collective blindspots —as input for (y)our programs.
STRUCTURED INFORMATION
INTUITION/EMOTIONS/RELATIONS
The Business Culture Scan © gives leadership teams, strategic consultants, and changemakers insight into the bigger picture you operate in. Clarity on the wider context and environment strengthens the emotional and relational agility of teams that need to deal with institutional/systemic conflicts and company or industrywide stakeholder engagement.

WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY?
Our clients vary from start-ups to societal impact investors, from non-profit foundations to for-profit multinationals and governments. Here you can find a list of our systemic consultants and what clients they have worked with earlier.

BLOCKBUSTERS' emotional interventions help us solve our daily problems in a much shorter time-span. "The financial savings are mind-blowing to investors." Great to partner up with!
Their facilitation is an eye-opening experience of perspectives, about yourself. "Facing my blindspots was confronting but worth it."

EXAMPLE OF A LARGE-SCALE INTERVENTION
It is remarkable how Oscar and his team(s) translate their vision into lean, profitable awareness programs.

We charge our clients per total employee size. Why? Because it gives us the freedom to do as many hands-on coach sessions as we think are needed. It is also an incentive to be as good as we can be. Besides, we can guarantee to not take more than 10% of your workforce out of daily business operations. While we coach and train people on seeing the big picture, we map your work culture. After all, people back on track, means that you can turn back to business.
