The Culture Builder
A one-page document for who you are, what you stand for, and how your team behaves when no one is looking.
Identity
Vision
0 charsUse the "X for Y" trick — borrow a known thing's shape. "The Airbnb of…", "What X did for Y". Forces clarity.
Intent
0 linesVerbs, not adjectives. "Educate through workshops" beats "be educational". Specific numbers if you have them.
Shared Values
0 linesPick words your team could defend in an argument. If "integrity" means the same to you as to a bank, it's filler.
Key Themes
0 themesThe feel of your brand, not the values. These are what a customer should sense without being told.
Is it Us?
0 linesA staff-level filter for "should we do this thing?". End with the action — permission to move.
Make It Right!
0 linesWhat staff do when something goes wrong, without escalating. The bit most culture docs forget.
