The big movement

Culture is where transformation takes root — in the everyday choices, conversations, and connections that bring purpose to life. We help organizations build cultures that energize people, deepen trust, and strengthen collective ownership. Through dialogue, reflection, and co-creation, we align individual and organizational purpose, translating belief into behavior. It’s a movement that starts from within — where faith in leadership grows, pride in the mission spreads, and performance follows naturally. At Highberg, we don’t just shape culture; we help it come alive.

Case study: How the Highberg Culture Scan supported a government organization in successfully merging three distinct cultures

In the Netherlands, several government security organizations share the same mission but serve different target groups. This overlap often causes confusion among the organizations' audiences. To address this, a decision was made to merge three organizations—each with distinct cultures, sizes, and ministerial oversight—into one integrated entity. This merger presented unique challenges. A large, bureaucratic organization with subcultures and high employee turnover had to integrate with smaller organizations that prioritized autonomy and maintained a flat structure. The absence of a shared culture posed a significant risk to effective collaboration. How do you create a unified organizational culture that harnesses the strengths of all three entities? Highberg was brought in to tackle this challenge by mapping the cultural landscape with the Culture Scan and guiding the subsequent culture change.

The impact of a corporate culture without psychological safety: causes and consequences

A positive culture can help an organization succeed. However, a poor culture can have the opposite effect and harm the organization. Problems with Boeing's corporate culture led to their recent setbacks. A Boeing-manufactured Alaska Airlines plane door panel blew out midair over Portland, Oregon, on January 5, forcing an emergency landing. Now there are a lot of concerns about safety and quality at the airline, as this was not the first time something went wrong with a Boeing plane. So, what happened and what role did their organizational culture play?
