LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE DO →

In our experience working with over 70 organizations, we’ve learned that there are three vital dimensions in any high performing sustainable culture. What does that mean? (Watch Our Video)

PERFORMANCE

Driving consistent results & alignment through clear authority, accountability & autonomy

We all want to be part of a winning team. At 1-DEGREE/Shift, we believe there are three A’s that help drive performance. First, there’s Authority which is about clear decentralized decision-making as close to the customer as possible so that we can be adaptable. Then there’s shared Accountability – taking responsibility, even if it’s tough. The third A is Autonomy – an intrinsic human motivator, that we need to have flexibility in how we work.

WELL–BEING

Nurturing holistic health and wellness

Well-being is the oxygen and fuel for organizational cultures. Navigating changing work environments and personal life is challenging, and if we aren’t careful it can lead to chronic stress and high levels of burnout. Organizations, teams and individuals need to prioritize and nurture holistic health and wellness for a thriving work culture.

INCLUSION

Fostering a strong sense of belonging and community

As humans, we all have tribal instincts – the tendency and need to form social groups. Unfortunately, this instinct creates divisions and can be an active barrier to inclusion and collaboration. Fostering a strong sense of belonging and inclusion by consciously co-creating communities is vital for any high-performing work culture.

Our Philosophy

Everything we do is bespoke. We are not consultants who hand you a prescription — we are coaches who partner with you to uncover root causes and core challenges, draw on proven core components, and co-design solutions tailored to your needs. Our approach addresses immediate issues while keeping sight of the bigger picture and your long-term context. We blend in-person and virtual experiences for maximum impact. Here are some typical starting points for our engagements:
