Atip’s 4C Model: Build Your Dream Organizational Culture (Simple & Effective!)

“Building culture isn’t hard – it’s about communication and consistency.”

Why Organizational Culture Matters

A great culture is like a compass:
→ It guides how your employees work together
→ It makes everyone feel valued
→ It helps your organization succeed and sustain

But how do you build it? Atip’s 4C Model gives you a simple roadmap.

The 4C Model Explained

(With real example from a safety culture initiative)

1. CREATE: Design Your Culture

Define what matters most.
How it works:

• Leaders decide the core values
• Choose one core value to be focused on at a time.

Real Example:
A company wanted a safety-first culture. Their leaders created:
→ Core value: “Safety is our #1 priority”
→ An example of key behavior: “Always check for risks before starting work”

2. COMMUNICATE: Share It Everywhere

Make sure everyone understands.
How it works:

• Leaders talk about it first
• Use all communication channels and through all touch points.

Real Example:
They shared the safety culture through:
→ Town-hall, team and one-on-one meetings
→ Emails and intranet posts
→ Posters in every office
→ Online training modules

3. CONDITION: Make It a Habit

Weave it into daily work.
How it works:

• Build simple rituals
• Connect to daily tasks

Real Example:
They made safety part of everyday life:

→ Role model: Leaders at all levels role model safety behaviors regularly
→ Meeting ritual: 5-minute “safety moment” at every meeting start
→ Performance plans: Every employee added safety goals
→ Annual training: Short online refresher courses

Result: Safety became as natural as breathing!

4. CONCLUDE: Check & Improve

See what’s working, what’s not and adjust.
How it works:

• Measure the progress every quarter.
• Ask for feedback
• Update as needed

Real Example:
They checked ‘safety culture’ with:
→ Regular employee surveys
→ Feedback boxes for suggestions
→ Annual review of safety rules, lessons learned and best practices
