The masterclass introduces a framework that investigates the underlying business philosophy of the organisation. Participants will examine the systems, structures, and processes to assess whether the organisation’s actions (“walk”) align with its stated values and intentions (“talk”).

By the end of the session, participants will gain a refreshed perspective on their organisation’s alignment between its talk and walk, with a focus on re-establishing better coherence. This facilitated masterclass draws on the tacit knowledge of the team and utilises the framework to co-develop practical strategies for realignment and greater organisational consistency.
