The Two-Way Open Door brings differentiation your competitors can't copy.

When you create a culture of ownership, people think beyond the transactional employer-employee relationship, and start taking ownership. That kind of engagement can’t be purchased with incentives or perks. This is the Inside Job, engaging people in real work so culture becomes a competitive advantage, not an afterthought. The result is better financial results, better quality, and improved morale.

That is what we at Open Door refer to as the two-way open door. Instead of waiting for employees to walk through your open door and bring the real business issues to them to engage in. When you ask your team to help solve business problems, you esteem them for their perspective, their insight, and their intelligence. The sense of ownership that brings compounds over time and becomes a competitive advantage that cannot be replicated.

Ways to create a two-way open door

01.

Talk to team members individually

which is useful as a sample but time-intensive if you’re trying to get a lot of input on broader business issues from a lot of people.

02.

Create Self-Directed Teams

which basically function as management without management. This will not be attractive to many business owners who will not want to turn over virtually all decision-making.

03.

Use Focus Groups

which are a great way to engage a sample of the population and listen. What you cannot do is use them to negotiate. They’re just for input. It’s often helpful to use an outside facilitator.

04.

Create what I call “Solutions Teams.”

which when done right, can involve a group of team members in specific business matters. Because of the way our labor law and court cases have defined this, you have to avoid the appearance of a “Management Dominated Union,” and operate within some pretty strict parameters. At Open Door, we’re good at this!

Culture by intention™, not by default.

The Open Door approach to award-winning culture

Your company's culture is defined by everything you do, say, promote, or allow. We help leaders like you radically define the culture you want, and radically reinforce it, so the culture you build is one you'll actually enjoy and one that the right people will want to be part of.

Radically Define Culture™

Your company’s Organizational DNA™ is as unique as your fingerprints. We help you radically define your organization's culture using a ten-step process that starts way before the conventional way of stating mission, vision, and values, and then takes it much further. Doing so makes it abundantly clear what your company is like. That creates an enviable employment brand that will attract the kind of people you want on your team, and repel those who will not fit.

Consistently Reinforce Culture™

Your culture is defined by everything you and your leaders do, say, promote or allow. We tailor solutions, strategies, processes & tools to reinforce the culture you want to build. We help you weave your desired culture into every possible process involving your team. Doing so means that we reinforce your culture by your culture. That creates an incredible upward spiral where your culture produces results that conventional means and prevailing practice can never match.

Why do you need a culture consultant?

Misaligned culture is the biggest barrier to leadership success

Even great leaders struggle when the team isn’t aligned. Communication breaks down, trust fades, and effort scatters. The truth is, every organization has a culture. The question is whether it’s happening by design or by default.

Poor culture fit is the #1 reason why employees quit.

Your culture drives everything. At Open Door, we work with leaders like you to help uncover what's really shaping your culture, and create solutions that bring it back into alignment with your vision...with you. We use a unique approach to help organizations move from a culture that just happens to one that’s built with purpose and clarity.

SEE HOW WE APPROACH CULTURE BY INTENTION™

Culture will always grow, whether you are guiding it, or not.

"You have to make an intentional investment of time, energy, and resources to get it right, and the same investment to keep it right."

~Mark Weaver, The Inside Job

What we do

Open Door Services

We help leaders like you build culture by intention™, radically defining and radically reinforcing the kind of environment that supports your vision and the work you are trying to accomplish the way you are trying to accomplish it. That culture becomes the foundation for finding and keeping the right people, repelling those who are not aligned, and uniting your team around one clear vision - your vision. When your team starts to see what you see, they can begin to think and act like owners, not just transactional employees.

Culture

We partner with busy leaders like you to radically define and radically reinforce the culture you desire. That makes it more than just about what your company does. Why becomes just as important as what. How your company will do what it does becomes just as important as where you want it to go. Defined well and reinforced well, your culture will attract and keep a team who will get your mission, see your vision and live your values.

Team

We help align your team, by getting everyone focused on your vision. We create strategies to help you find and keep the right team members. And when needed, we help you part ways with the wrong ones, because it’s not enough just to get the right people on the bus. Sometimes you have to get the wrong ones off.

Leadership

We help you and your leadership team grow in competence, confidence, and character so you can build trust and inspire your team to align around your vision and lead others to do the same.

Kimberly O'Neil

Former COO, Encompass Technologies

When it comes to business culture in Northern Colorado, there's only one name that jumps to mind - Mark Weaver with Open Door Organizational Solutions. Mark has shared valuable insights for the LoCo Think Tank HQ team, served as subject matter expert in LoCo chapter meetings and for special events, and been one of my most entertaining and thought-provoking guests on The LoCo Experience podcast. And - he's referred some of our other most amazing guests to the show! What I especially appreciate about Mark, is that it's not his culture you're developing - it's yours! - authentic to you and your leadership team, but he'll help walk it and talk it and learn it and live it throughout the organization.

Curt Bear
