Most of us don’t stop to think about where our workplace norms come from. We assume they’re just the way things are, without asking whether they truly help people thrive. CultureROOTS™ offers a chance to look beneath the surface and reconnect with deeper wisdom. When we see culture as a living system—shaped by how we align, care, grow, and build trust—we can design workplaces that are not only effective, but also resilient and human-centered.
That’s where CultureROOTS™ comes in.
What Is CultureROOTS™?
CultureROOTS™ is a regenerative culture intelligence platform that helps people see their workplace with new eyes. Rather than relying on quick fixes or surface-level programs, it offers a systemic and psychologically grounded way to understand and transform culture from the inside out.
At the heart of CultureROOTS™ is the ROOTS™ Framework—a diagnostic model that explores the conditions under which people and organizations either thrive, struggle, or begin to wither. By weaving together insights from psychology, systems thinking, and resilience design, CultureROOTS makes the unseen visible: the places where alignment is strong, where care and trust need attention, and where new possibilities for growth can take root.
Why It Matters
Culture shapes everything. It is the soil from which strategies, relationships, and innovations grow. Yet many organizations inherit ways of working without stopping to ask whether those patterns truly support their people. Without healthy cultural roots, even the best intentions and plans struggle to flourish.
CultureROOTS helps organizations:
- Diagnose cultural health across five core domains (alignment, growth, care, trust, integrity)
- Map readiness for transformation using the ROOTS™ Culture Climate Spectrum
- Anchor strategy in values that are not just espoused but lived and experienced
- Design regenerative practices that replenish people and systems rather than deplete them
A Different Kind of Diagnostic
Most culture tools stop at measuring engagement or satisfaction. CultureROOTS™ goes deeper. It combines:
- Organizational psychology (motivation, psychological safety, fairness)
- Systems insights (feedback loops, interdependence, values alignment)
- Resilience-centered design (care as foundational, equity as structural, integrity as everyday practice)
The result is a narrative map of culture that leaders, teams, and consultants can act on .
Who It’s For
CultureROOTS™ is built for:
- Employees who want to spark conversations that make their workplace better
- Leaders who want to align values with daily practices
- Consultants seeking a powerful, research-backed diagnostic to guide culture work
- Organizations ready to move beyond optics into authentic transformation
Whether you’re navigating change, struggling with retention, or preparing to scale, CultureROOTS provides the insight and accountability needed to design a culture where people and purpose can thrive together.
The Path Forward
This is only the beginning. In our next article, we’ll take you deeper into the ROOTS™ Framework itself—the five domains, the climate spectrum, and the diagnostic tools that make it actionable.
Because culture is not neutral. It is always growing something.
The question is: what are you cultivating—and is it what you intend?
