Cultural Change Results
We implement cultural change
faster, cheaper,
and with fewer headaches. 
Pulse Methodology

Actions are structured in regular intervals, or "Pulses," to ensure consistent application of desired behaviors over time, that create new habits critical for improving leadership effectiveness and driving cultural change.

Complete System

Pulscipline™ offers a complete, end-to-end system for driving cultural change from creating the change strategy to sustaining the changes made. No part of the transformation is left to chance.

Overcome Inhibitors

Change projects fail due to the Inhibitors of Change. Our Pulscipline™ System was specifically designed to identify and eliminate these Inhibitors during both the strategic planning and transformation phases, ensuring success.

Robust

The elements of the Pulscipline™ system support one another to create a strong, resilient framework. If one service encounters unexpected difficulties, subsequent services can be used to overcome those inhibitors, allowing the system to effectively manage surprises and keep the transformation on track.

Flexible

The Pulscipline™ system is very structured, yet designed with the flexibility to handle the specific situations the organization presents while keeping the project on track.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS SAY

Pulscipline Cultural-Change System
A practical, seamless, and comprehensive system for implementing cultural change

Customer Description of Pulscipline™

"The [Pulscipline™] change method differs from anything I had heard of before, by being extremely “appropriate”: comprehensive whilst hands-on and realistic. As most HR Managers do, I know of Lewin, Beer or Shaw’s change models. I have read about different changes strategies, whether normative-re-educative, rational-empirical, power-coercive or action-centered strategy. But never before had I envisaged the global A to Z change process the way you do, integrating each factor in a logical and structured way. Resistance to change is treated with such in-depth attention that the inhibitors can get expressed (awareness is not enough!) and the proposed step-by-step attitude surely ensures success. The use of PulseSurveys is another element that shows concrete areas of focus with clear improvement priorities to be targeted, involving short and long term development plans. The method you propose is in my view structured enough to let no chance possible to failure but encompasses a wide and large scope enough to entitle the adaptability to any specific company or change process."
