Cultural Alignment
Building thriving cultures

Teams who are thriving and performing at their best, prioritize their relationships and ways of working. They are clear and aligned on how to operationalize their vision, core values, and strategies. And, they share a foundational level of safety, belonging, and significance.

Our cultural alignment services help teams to create employee journeys that support connection, performance, and meaningful outcomes -> from attracting and onboarding game-changing contributors to offboarding raving alumni, and everything in between.

What do you (truly) know about your culture from your team's perspective(s)?

An organization's or team's culture is not defined by what its leaders or marketing team say it is. It is defined by the everyday actions, behaviours, and impact of its people.

Helping leaders and teams to ask powerful questions, practice deep listening, and engage in meaningful dialogue, requires a foundational level of awareness and skill that this work promises to deliver.

The Meal-Size Pathway

Designed for teams seeking an overall current state understanding of their culture's impact on different groups of team members.

These engagements typically involve a mix of discovery, define, and design activities to explore core cultural drivers and indicators to help teams to purposefully (and confidently) direct energy towards the most meaningful opportunities.

The Snack-Size Pathway

Designed for teams having recently (within a year) completed some initial discovery work to assess the current impact of their culture.

These engagements involve a mix of define, design, and delivery activities to 'dive deeper' into specific cultural drivers and indicators such as power dynamics, psychological safety, feedback and recognition, well-being, and more.

“The Ally Co. came in to help our team and organization at Brown Bagging for Calgary’s Kids at a time when we were going through some difficult growing pains. Their approach was people-centred while guiding a clear and strategic path that acknowledged the growth and helped us become a more effective and efficient organization. They build trust with the people they are working with and lay a foundation for trust amongst the people. This ensures results for all.”
Tanya Koshowski, past Executive Director at Brown Bagging for Calgary's Kids
“TACO's 360° feedback review process provided me with valuable data to better understand how my personal identity, beliefs, and leadership style are perceived by my team, peers, and personal contacts. The results of the feedback process offered a comprehensive, multi-perspective assessment of my performance, with questions that were broad enough to allow individuals to apply their own perspectives when providing feedback. By collecting input from managers, peers, direct reports, and personal contacts, this experience gave me a holistic assessment beyond just numerical ratings. The word map of my core values and the percentage of variance were particularly helpful, as they highlighted the importance and impact of my role as a leader. Receiving feedback like "your mentorship and friendship has made a huge impact on my mental health and happiness" and "you demonstrate a deep level of care, understanding, and fairness in your role" was truly impactful. The insights gained from this work has helped me better understand my strengths, and how others perceive me. These results will now inform my ongoing career development plans, allowing me to continue growing as a Leader with impact.”
Amber Piedra, Manager of Workspace Services at TC Energy
