Stantec is an engineering company that plans, designs, delivers, and manages the development and infrastructure needed to support the creation of sustainable, healthy, and prosperous communities.

Leveraging growth to seize opportunity

Following six acquisitions in only six years – which had rapidly taken it from a few hundred people to 3000 employees and many more services – Stantec was looking to make the most of its new scale and scope in Australia. Most importantly, the company was striving for a ‘One Stantec’ culture that would drive progress towards a shared vision and strategy, and generate superior business performance.

Designing and embedding the ‘One Stantec’ culture

Our solution included aligning the Australian leadership team, conducting a pulse check survey on the current culture and running a two-day Culture Integration Leadership Forum for Stantec’s top 100 Australian leaders. We designed a unique way to integrate the business and drive progress towards the strategy and vision. ‘StanFest’ was a highly engaging and inclusive process which simultaneously created and embedded the shared ‘One Stantec’ culture.

The outcome

Having unified leadership around the ‘One Stantec’ culture, we drove whole-of-organisation understanding and ownership of the culture. This, in turn, increased change leadership capability and acumen in the organisation. Ultimately, the outcome was a more streamlined and culturally integrated organisation.
