The Sycol method is an approach used by organisations for intentional culture development and strategic alignment. It challenges the supposition that either culture or strategy are more important by aligning both, equally in the creation of a high performing organisation.

Three research based models - Systems, Solution Oriented and Lean provide guiding principles for the method viz smarter, simpler, rewarding and the working rationale for organisations.

Smarter

Rigourous emphasis is placed on high performing systems that also align the organistaion with its own desired culture.

Simpler

Lean thinking is used to achieve ever-greater simplicity, embed continuous improvement and eliminate waste to create value.

Rewarding

Members of the organisation place rewards of happiness, enjoyment, satisfaction, fulfillment and meaning on par with remuneration. Sycol's method is applied in three stages:

Stage 1: Build The Core

That includes: 1.	Implementation of core framework (vision, mission, values) 2.	discipline about alignment

Stage 2: Embed Operations

That includes: 1.	Managed continuous improvement

Stage 3: Sustain Culture and Performance

That includes: 1.	Culture development and strategic performance metrics 2.	Growth through recruitment and induction
