This episode dives into the third phase of the Truly Transformative method: SHAPE — where strategy and culture move from concepts into a fully integrated execution plan. Adriana and Caryn break down what makes SHAPE different from traditional planning: culture isn't an afterthought, it's woven directly into the roadmap. Key topics include co-creating the roadmap with leaders and employees, identifying organizational vs. business model capability gaps, embedding culture initiatives alongside strategic initiatives with equal rigor, and a disciplined approach to prioritization (because organizations almost always have too many initiatives and not enough capacity). Leaders who complete the SHAPE phase leave knowing what they're doing, how they'll do it, why it matters culturally, what capabilities need to be built, and how to prioritize going forward.Ready to bring this into your organization?

Aligning culture and strategy for lasting results.
Most strategic plans fail — not because the strategy is wrong, but because the culture can't support it. The Truly Transformative Podcast tackles this head-on.
Hosts Adriana McLane and Caryn Lee bring decades of hands-on experience helping organizations build bold strategies and the cultures that make them stick. Each episode delivers practical frameworks, real-world case studies, and honest conversations about what it actually takes to transform an organization from the inside out.
This isn't theory. It's what works.
