Culture By Design

No single factor—not sales, marketing, finance, strategy, or operations—has more influence over the ultimate success of an organization than its culture. And yet, understanding exactly what culture is, and more importantly, what to do about it, has always been so murky.

In the first edition of Culture by Design, David Friedman cut through the fog and provided a simple, clear, and practical roadmap that thousands of organizations worldwide are now using to build high-performing cultures.

In this new updated and expanded edition, you’ll learn how to take the strategies he originally taught and leverage them to drive lasting competitive advantage.

Frequently asked questions

What is CultureWise, exactly?

CultureWise is a culture operating system: you define the specific behaviors that make your culture (we call them Fundamentals), and the platform reinforces one every week through your team's phones or computers, backed by a guided rollout. It turns your values into daily habits instead of a poster on the wall.

How much does CultureWise cost?

Pricing is quote-based and billed annually, so your number depends on your size and which pieces you include. It comes together in three parts: a required core (your Fundamentals plus the platform, priced per user each month with volume discounts as you grow), a one-time program activation fee, and optional add-on modules. The best way to get a firm, all-in number is to request a quote.

How long does it take to see results?

Most companies are up and running in about 45 to 60 days. Once the weekly rhythm starts, the behaviors show up in how people work almost immediately, and the effect compounds from there.

How much of my team's time does it take?

Roughly 6 hours of your leadership team's time over the 45-to-60-day rollout. We carry the rest, and after go-live the platform runs the weekly reinforcement automatically.

Will this actually stick, or fade like past initiatives?

Most culture efforts fade because they end when the workshop ends. CultureWise runs a weekly ritual, gives leaders coaching prompts, and refreshes the content over time, so the behaviors keep getting practiced long after launch. The daily reinforcement is the difference.

How is this different from an engagement survey or recognition tool?

A survey measures how people feel; a recognition tool rewards them after the fact. CultureWise is upstream of both: it defines the behaviors you want and builds them into daily practice. It complements those tools rather than replacing them.
