Industry Leaders On Culture
The smartest organization in the world, that has mastered strategy, finance, marketing and technology, will eventually fail if its (culture) is unhealthy." Patrick Lencioni, Author
"Companies with a positive culture have better performance, productivity and profits than those without." The Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends Report
"The #1 reason any organization should care is that it has been PROVEN that culture, if a strong one, is POSITIVELY CORRELATED with business results." Jack Welch, GE CEO
Clients On Our Culture Framework
Mike Minkler, President
CMIT Solutions
Industry: IT
"We engaged LifeWork Systems in a culture transformation project because we had employee retention and trust challenges. Our turnover has dropped by over 50% and employee morale and trust has never been higher. The business value and ROI are definitely there. More importantly, everyone is happier and enjoying life more. Hard to put a value on that; I'd say it's priceless."
Maxine Clark, Founder/CEO
Build-A-Bear Workshop
Industry: Retail
"I met Judy when she presented to Build-A-Bear about incorporating programs into our company. Her presentation left me to wonder, 'why isn't everyone offering this?' I also believe that every business needs her book. Within this book are the proven processes and tools that Judy has implemented with many companies that allow employees to reach their fullest potential and provides businesses with the results that they seek."
Kevin Shrake, VP & COO
MDR
Industry: Healthcare
"MDR is a resource for many healthcare organizations. One of the best practices we have found in the marketplace is LifeWork Systems and Judy Ryan. People don't think it's possible to financially turnaround a company PLUS improve customer and employee satisfaction. Yes! It CAN happen at the same time. How much better would your organization be financially if your turnover rate was half of what it is today?"
Lauren Kolbe, Owner/CEO
KolbeCo
Industry: Marketing/PR
"Before we met Judy, we had problems with employees and teamwork that we didn't know how to address. People were gossiping, sabotaging others' abilities to be successful, and lashing out for reasons we couldn't quite grasp. We thought we had a good culture. Yet things were off and we all knew it. LifeWork Systems has made an incredible impact. Our company now has a REAL CULTURE - one we're all proud of. Our work isn't just pretty good, it's great."
Lisa Meyer, RVP Ops
RehabCare
Industry: Long-Term Care
"When I first met Judy Ryan, a competitor had just acquired our company. We were struggling to understand our new identity. She helped us greatly improve by building a responsibility-based workplace where everyone contributed to a common mission. We implemented this model into multiple facilities within my 1000+ person region, improving our revenues and we have grown significantly as a result of our work with her and her company."
Why You MUST Fix and Improve Your Culture to Stay Productive and Competitive
Change is happening at the speed of imagination, often causing high levels of confusion and strain on individuals and organizations. Today’s technologies and digital solutions must be mapped to agile workforce behaviors. All team members in every role must be able to both lead and follow dynamically and innovate on the fly as needs dictate, with confidence, no matter title or tenure.
In order to meet today’s requirement for collaboration and fluidity, each must know how to be personally responsible to manage their own relationships, productivity, engagement and progress. When they do, they take initiative, work well together and operate from their greatest gifts and talents.
Your people are your greatest asset. Providing a supportive, 21st century “Teal” culture is key to attracting and developing them into people who help serve one another and your customers so you end up with an organization in which your staff and customers fully engage, stay and remain loyal.
What You’ll Leave With
– How to identify and FIX things in your culture that lead to disengagement, mediocrity, sabotage, low productivity and turnover
– How to leverage your culture for competitive advantage
– How to ensure your team stays productive and engaged — even when dealing with rapid growth, complexity and/or change
– An understanding of what a Teal Organization is, why it matters, and how to transform into one
– A new sense of excitement, hope, and a plan to make a healthy, supportive, responsibility- and values-based culture a reality

About Presenter Judy Ryan
JUDY RYAN is CEO of LifeWork Systems, an award winning performance management company she founded in 2002. She is a recognized thought leader on applied behavioral science systems that impact deep culture change for exceptional outcomes.
Judy is a Consultant, Author, Columnist, Trainer and Keynote Speaker, invited frequently to speak on podcasts, radio and TV. She has been leading innovation methods using her fully scalable, digital culture framework and support processes for distributing skills to all people to spearhead the most important aspect of any company–its people.
Judy has created a fully scalable, digital platform and support processes within a culture framework, for distributing Teal organizational development skills to all people and sustaining them for greater emotional intelligence, as is highly needed in this time of rapid change, globalization and digital transformation. She understands that to keep current with the agility of business, people must be equally agile, including in heuristic, cross-functioning teams. Judy’s purpose is to create a world in which all people love their lives.
“I submit that too often there is a lack of commitment to, practice of, and execution of professional common behaviors – an absence of highly communicated standardized organizational expectations – without which there are no supports upon which the Agile bar can be confidently raised. I would highly recommend the LifeWork Systems model to both small and large organizations. I believe it would build a solid platform base enabling many organizations to truly benefit from the Agile principles and coaching in ways that we only infrequently experience today.”
Jim Rosa, Enterprise Agile Consultant, Icon Agility
