Turn vague culture talk into clear, agreed behaviour
Most teams can't agree on what "ownership" or "collaboration" actually looks like. Culture Science Cards give teams a structured way to define and commit to the behaviours they want — together.
Not imposed. Not assumed. Agreed.

“Amazing 2 hour session with the Culture Science Cards. 260 people agreeing what's above the line, below the line, and identifying four themes in particular to address moving forward. Stunning stuff."

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an amazing activity to do with our principals group! It was sooooo good. I had organised an activity with [xxxx. xxxxx] in the morning to create future stories and then we followed that with the culture deck which looked at the behaviours - it was so connected and amazing.
Thank you so much!!!

"Seriously the best activity we have done, and we've done a few. I have never seen the crew so engaged and vocal, and yet really positive. Thanks - very very cool activity with real legs. I'm looking forward to rolling this out to the other teams."

Define clear behavioural standards with your team — and use them to guide decisions every day.

For Organisations
Culture varies team to team — unless it’s made explicit.

Example Cards
Turn vague expectations into mutually agreed clear standards
Most teams talk about culture in general terms:
​
-
“Be collaborative”
-
“Take ownership”
-
“Respect each other”
But when pressure hits, those words mean different things to different people.
​
That’s where problems start.
​
Culture Science Cards help teams get specific —
by defining the behaviours they want to see and the ones they don’t.
What changes when expectations are clear
A leader tells the team to “take more ownership.”
Some step up.
Some wait for direction.
Some do their own thing.
Frustration builds.
​
Using the cards, the conversation changes:
​
The cards don’t tell teams what to do. They help teams decide what good looks like.
​
Above the line (what we expect most of the time)
-
Adds value
-
Takes ownership
-
Moves things forward
On the line (where clarity is most important)
-
Not yet agreed
-
Needs clarity
-
Requires judgement
Below the line (what we prefer not to experience too often)
-
Creates risk
-
Avoids responsibility
-
Relies on hope
What changes:
-
​The team isn’t guessing anymore.
-
They’re not being managed into behaviour.
-
​They’ve agreed how they work.​
And that changes how they show up — every day.
​
That’s the difference between compliance and commitment.
