What our clients are saying
“The impact [of KPMG’s work] was substantial and continues to this day. We wouldn't have gotten there as quickly or effectively without their help, and I'll be forever grateful for that...as well as for KPMG's generous support of our organization.”
Peggy Rajski, Interim CEO & Founder, The Trevor Project
“I would only choose KPMG after what they did for us. I’d like to say, it’s not only what they did, it’s how they did it that really allowed us to soar. Their team was nothing short of amazing. They came in as consultants, and within a week or so, we had friends, colleagues, and deep care for one another and from the onset, we just clicked. Today, I am proud to consider our KPMG team our friends and I know that we are there for each other.”
Joseph Schmitt, Executive Director, US Department of Veteran Affairs, Debt Management Center
Why focus on culture?
For organizations that want to win, getting culture right is crucial.
So why is culture often seen as ‘soft’ and left to chance? Where do you even start? How do you make culture tangible, actionable, and measurable?
We can help you take the mystery out of understanding and transforming your culture, to unlock the full potential of your people, supercharge your mission and strategy, spark innovation, strengthen relationships and reputation, and bring differentiated value to all your stakeholders. Our data-driven approach integrates considerations of your brand and storytelling into the mix. If you're determined to avoid failure or face challenges in meeting strategic, operational, reputational, or compliance objectives, reach out to learn how we can assist you.
How we approach culture
Purpose & values led. Human-centered. Trust building. Outcome oriented. Our approach uses transformational mindsets to achieve your outcomes.
Culture is “how work gets done” and “the worst behaviors tolerated.” It is the product of organizational identity, mindsets & behaviors, infrastructure, and the people experience, but is often neglected because it seems hard to measure and action. However, it is actionable, measurable, and essential to get right.
KPMG’s research-backed*, pragmatic, outcomes-oriented approach can help you establish culture as a competitive advantage.
*includes both client-provided data, latest academic research (i.e., Kaptein 2020).
