Sometimes it takes fresh eyes to see solutions for problems you've been struggling with forever.

That's what this episode on culture change felt like.

My guest was Israel Peck - head of Cratic Ai. He used to be a consultant on massive cost-cutting projects and discovered that culture has a huge financial impact. So he started Cratic Ai to help companies successfully shape their cultures. As you might think, given cost-cutting, he has a finance background not HR.

So the conversation was overflowing with fresh perspectives and insights. Like:

- HR needs one metric. All the other departments have them. He suggests that employee net promoter score (eNPS) could be that number (see the video below).

- It's been shown that EBITDA will increase by $10-25,000 PER EMPLOYEE for every quartile shift in eNPS.

- He know how to move the needle on eNPS and you could use his software, but you don't have to.

- We often implement programs to change culture. His methods change it from the inside out.

- The secret is: conversation. Not so secret right? He has a weird way of encouraging it.

- In my opinion, you have to be brave to reap the rewards on this.

I have had other guests who reinforced the power of great conversation in helping to create better teams. Having done a lot of this work and accidentally did some of what he talks about, I believe he is on to something. I believe we will see more of Israel and his ideas! Check it out!
