Establishing your values is the starting point to transformation for anything.

Larkenby’s focus is on digging deep to understand the intrinsic values that exist in the organisation, or which are necessary to achieve its vision; and to articulate them uniquely in a way that makes them take hold.

Our approach engages boards and their teams, clients and stakeholders to craft bespoke values and start the process of cultural transformation. We call it Active Ethos® – the unrelenting application of a really well-crafted set of values to build culture.

Always important, culture is crucial when things get tough. When you have to stand out in a squeezed market. When your team has to pull together. When you have to make hard choices and big changes. That’s when a robust, values-based culture becomes absolutely essential.

Our Process

We all know that “Culture eats strategy for breakfast”. There’s a plethora of books chock-full of insight to the importance of corporate ethos (you’ve probably read them). But applying all this great stuff in the real world is a different matter.

If you want to turn insight into action, theory into practical steps, Larkenby’s the answer. We help you create impact and unlock opportunities for growth through your values, stitched into every aspect of your business to create a thriving culture.

The ask was for our values to speak to our hard-baked strategic commitment to achieving health equity and building compassionate communities: Larkenby helped us find our voice together, and we are very grateful for both the words and what they represent.
