Purpose, Culture and Values Workshop
Energize your team by unpacking the culture, values and behaviors unique to your practice.
"Purpose Inspires. Values Guide. Behaviors Define."
Our workshop will help you and your team discover what makes your practice unique. Through discussions, hands-on exercises and short lessons, we will work with you to determine your practice's purpose, culture and values so that everyone in the team feels aligned and energized about coming into work each day.
This is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Archibiz mentors will work with each practice individually to create a workshop that is best suited to the needs of the practice. Once we’ve established the goals of each practice and how to get there, we’ll create a custom program for your team.
Why purpose, culture or values?
Purpose is about why we do what we do.
Values are how we achieve purpose.
Behaviours are what we do every day that reflects our purpose and values.
At Archibiz, we define purpose as your company's 'why' for existing or your
reason for being, above and beyond doing good work and the pursuit of profit.
A clearly articulated purpose has the power to inspire and unite staff and
stakeholders around a common goal.
Once defined, a company's values and behaviors help to determine the culture of your practice. Culture is one of those more ‘hard to define terms’, a little like trying to describe jelly! At Archibiz, we define culture as ‘what is ok and not ok around here’.
When you and your team are aligned on your purpose, culture and values, you will notice that productivity, efficiency and morale improves. You will also notice a more collaborative working environment. Our goal is to empower you and your team to do the best work you possibly can, and enjoy every minute of it.
Ready to improve your practice?
Our Workshops can be arranged in half-days, full days or over multiple dates. If you’d like to set up a workshop for your architecture practice, register your interest below and we will be in touch soon.

Who's this workshop for?
The Purpose, Culture and Values Workshop is best suited for small to mid-sized architecture practices. It is ideal for practice owners who are looking to boost morale, increase transparency and encourage team-building and collaboration in their practice.
What's a workshop look like?
Where possible, our workshops will be held in-person, at your venue of choice. Most often, this will be your studio, where you and your team will feel most comfortable. You can choose from half-day, full-day, or multiple days' workshops. This is entirely your choice. Each workshop will feature different 30-minute to 60-minute sessions, with breaks in between.
Do I have any input on the content that goes into the workshop?
Absolutely. We'll work with studio owners to craft a workshop that is best suited to your practice. You'll be given the opportunity to choose from a range of topics and concepts. Once that's done, we'll curate a special program just for you.
What happens after the workshop?
You'll be given an action plan and guidance for how to implement everything you learned in the workshop so that it stays top-of-mind with participants. Plus, even though the workshop may be over, you'll still be a part of our Archibiz community. That means access to exclusive events, our closed LinkedIn group and other valuable resources.
