Turn culture into a competitive advantage

Attracting and retaining top talent while driving engagement across generations is no small feat. And individual leadership training is not enough. 94% of workplace problems are systemic, so you need to fix these issues in a broadly sustainable way.

But where to start? That’s the easy part… 

The 5 Drivers of Cultural Competitive Advantage - ADVISA

After almost four decades of helping organizations transform their cultures, we have found there are 5 essential drivers for creating and maintaining cultural competitive advantage:

A – Activation from above
T – Trust and shared purpose
L – Leader effectiveness
A – Actionable people data
S – Systems that support leaders

See how your organization is doing today

In just minutes, our ATLAS Navigator survey will give you a snapshot in time of how your organization is doing toward each of the 5 drivers.

  • There are only 20 questions to answer about how your organization views and handles things today. Many people take the survey in 5 minutes or less.
  • When you’re done, you will have immediate access to a simple, customized report with the specific drivers that present the greatest opportunity (or opportunities) for your organization.
  • Your report also provides a link to (free, ungated) tactics your organization can implement right away.

Pro Tip: Many leaders like to take ATLAS Navigator, then have other top leaders at their organization take it too. The results will either affirm alignment, or start the conversation to get to alignment. That, in and of itself, can be highly valuable.

Your leaders carry the culture, which affects your results

Here’s how we see it:


Based on decades of research, Gallup reports that 70% of variance in employee engagement is determined solely by the manager. So, effective leadership is the key to unlocking a more engaged workforce.

  • When your company’s leaders build trusting relationships with your employees and bring your desired work culture to life, it drives confidence and productivity.
  • Engaged employees give their extra effort, and customers notice.
  • Satisfied customers deliver the desired business result.
