In a world of commoditized products and services, most organizations differentiate themselves not only by what they do, but even moreso how they do it. CEEK developed our 7C’s Model™ to help transform organizations through a values-based culture aligned with a clear mission and strategy. We can guide you through the process to develop an Intentional Culture Plan and to create or refresh a compelling Strategic Plan. And, through strategic Implementation Support Services, CEEK will empower your organization to apply and maintain these plans. We encourage you to Sail the 7C’s with CEEK!
If, as Peter Drucker famously said, “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” why invest in a Strategic Plan without a Culture Plan?
Research continues to show that culture and employee engagement directly impact performance, retention, and long-term success. At CEEK, we help organizations intentionally define and activate a culture that drives results.
Using our 7C’s Model™, we provide a practical, proven framework to design and sustain a culture that differentiates your organization—for your clients, your colleagues, and your community.
1. Assess the Current Culture – We begin by understanding your reality—not just your aspirations. Through our proprietary values-alignment survey, interviews, and focus groups, we evaluate the gap between professed values and actual behaviors.
These insights reveal your organization’s true operating norms and serve as the foundation for defining your desired culture.
2. Define the Desired Culture – We help you build a representative team of Culture Champions to lead the work. Using our facilitation tools and proven templates, we guide your team in:
You can choose to have CEEK facilitate this process—or we can equip your team to lead it internally.
3. Activate & Share the Culture – A defined culture only matters if it’s lived. We help you bring it to life through:
We also align your values with leadership competencies to ensure consistency across professional development efforts.
4. Assess & Maintain the Culture – Culture is not a one-time initiative—it requires ongoing attention.
We translate your Culture Plan into a measurable framework using our Hypocrisy Index Assessment—a powerful tool that evaluates alignment between stated values and lived experience.
From there, we help you take action through targeted development, adjusted norms, and continuous reinforcement.
Why It Matters – Whether you lead a team of 10 or an organization of 10,000, culture is your ultimate differentiator. An intentional culture leads to:
Let’s build it—intentionally.
Sail the 7C’s with CEEK and create a culture that inspires your people and elevates your results.
Why sail the 7C’s if you haven’t defined your destination?
At CEEK, we help organizations clarify where they’re going—and how to get there. Through facilitated sessions, practical tools, and an appreciative inquiry approach, we guide your team in defining a clear and compelling direction for the future.
In our 7C’s Model™, your vision serves as the lighthouse—a steady guide for decisions, priorities, and progress. From there, we build the roadmap to help you move forward with confidence.

From Plan to Performance – A strategy is only as strong as your ability to execute it—especially when conditions change.
With both Strategic and Intentional Culture Plans in place, we help your team build the discipline and resilience to navigate challenges without losing direction. Through targeted exercises and coaching, we strengthen your ability to:
Why It Matters – Clarity drives alignment. Alignment drives results. With a clear destination and a practical roadmap, your organization can move forward with confidence—no matter the conditions.

From Plans to Results – Having a strategy and culture plan is only the beginning. Execution is where impact happens. CEEK partners with you to ensure your plans translate into real, measurable progress—while building the internal capability to sustain success long after our work is done.
Let’s turn your plans into performance.
As any organization implements a new or updated Intentional Culture Plan or Strategic Plan and associated tactical initiatives, they must account and plan for the impact on people.

Whether you’re just starting a change effort or you’re in the midst of it and need help, CEEK will empower you to:
