The Culture Equation (TCE), a Stevie Award-winning management consulting firm based in Sydney, Australia, offers practical solutions to help organizations transform their cultural landscapes.

In the complex and fast-paced world of business, organizational culture has become one of the most critical factors influencing a company’s success. Culture shapes how employees interact, engage, and contribute to the organization’s mission, values, and overall performance.

TCE focuses on helping companies reshape their culture in a way that improves performance, enhances engagement, and fosters greater alignment with strategic goals. Their solutions are rooted in a deep understanding of human behavior, leadership dynamics, and team interactions, and they emphasize practical, actionable strategies over abstract theories. By applying this approach, TCE has proven that culture transformation is not an optional luxury for organizations but a necessity for sustainable success.

A Practical Approach to Organizational Change
One of the key aspects that sets TCE apart is its emphasis on delivering practical, hands-on solutions. Organizational culture is often viewed as something intangible or difficult to change. However, TCE’s approach is built on breaking down culture into manageable, measurable components. Instead of relying on generic models or prescriptive tactics, the organization tailors its interventions to the specific needs of each company it works with.

A core principle at TCE is that culture is dynamic and must be actively managed. This means working alongside companies to understand their unique challenges and goals and designing programs that address those directly.

The Culture Canvas: Defining Cultural Blueprint
One of the standout practical tools that TCE uses in its transformation process is the “Culture Canvas” workshop. This interactive workshop is designed to help organizations visualize and define their cultural landscape. The idea behind the Culture Canvas is simple yet powerful: by mapping out a company’s existing culture and identifying areas for improvement, leaders and employees alike can better understand where they are and where they want to go.

The Culture Canvas session guides participants through a structured process that encourages open discussions, collective input, and the co-creation of a shared cultural vision. It allows organizations to define their values, behaviors, and expectations in a way that is relevant and actionable for everyone within the organization. The result is a practical blueprint that aligns all stakeholders around a common cultural framework that can be integrated into everyday business practices.

What makes this approach particularly effective is its focus on collaboration. TCE doesn’t just come in as an external consultant to impose solutions from the outside. Instead, they facilitate a participatory process in which employees at all levels are engaged in the cultural transformation. This leads to greater buy-in, ownership, and commitment to the changes being implemented.

Psychological Safety: A Key Enabler of Engagement
Another central component of TCE’s practical approach is its focus on psychological safety. Research has shown that psychological safety – the feeling that individuals can take risks, speak up, and share ideas without fear of retribution – is a critical factor in fostering high-performing teams. Without it, innovation stalls, communication breaks down, and engagement levels drop.

By focusing on this practical aspect of organizational culture, TCE helps companies create environments where employees are more likely to contribute ideas, collaborate, and take initiative without fear of failure. This, in turn, leads to improved engagement, greater innovation, and a more dynamic organizational culture overall.

Ongoing Commitment
TCE's practical and tailored approach to organizational culture transformation has made them a valuable partner for companies seeking to enhance their workplace environments.

Their focus on defining culture, developing leadership, and promoting diversity provides organizations with the tools needed to foster positive and productive workplaces. The recognition from the Stevie^® Awards further highlights their dedication to excellence in the field of culture and leadership consulting. 

The Culture Equation won a Silver Stevie Award for Company of the Year - Business or Professional Services - Small in The 2024 International Business Awards^®.

Founded by Ankur and Aditi Daga, Angara Inc. is a family-started and family-run fine jewelry brand, committed to "helping the world celebrate with color." Their handcrafted jewelry is dressed in high-quality gemstones, diamonds, and pearls, and every piece is made to order.

Stevie-winner Ankur Daga, Founder and CEO of Angara, is a visionary entrepreneur whose journey is defined by a passion for gemstones and a commitment to transform the industry through a more personalized shopping experience. A Harvard graduate with a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) certification, Ankur's entrepreneurial spirit was evident even during his academic years when friends sought him out for customizing engagement rings, foreshadowing the path he would later embark upon.

A Journey Rooted in Passion
Ankur's personal journey, from combing the carpet for diamonds at the age of 5 to working in the family's wholesale gemstone business as a teen, reflects a deep connection to the industry. Despite initially choosing a different path through academia and consulting, he was driven to return to his roots by a unique combination of experiences.

Ankur's professional trajectory took an interesting turn at McKinsey & Company, where he worked as a consultant on a jewelry brand, making him realize the untapped potential of the market. Through online retail and customer-focused strategies, he set out to transform the fine jewelry industry with the power of customization.

In 2005, Ankur Daga founded Angara, combining generational expertise and cutting-edge technology. His long-term approach deliberately eschewed venture capital funding, ensuring alignment with his ambitious goals.

With features like gemstone quality, carat weight and metal choice, every jewelry piece comes in a minimum of 64 variants to suit every style and budget. Today, with its most recent "Create with Angara" (CWA) feature, Angara allows customers to design their own rings from scratch—from a plethora of gemstone options, styles, settings and precious metals–within minutes.

Ankur recognized the challenge of shifting customer mindsets towards buying fine jewelry online and strategically addressed it through this accessible, convenient, and highly personal approach, ensuring that what customers had in mind was precisely what they received.

Transforming the Industry With Color
Angara's manifesto which reads, "Color Changes Everything. For the Better," reflects Ankur's core belief. For this reason, he initiated the brand’s always-on campaign, "Celebrate with Color" to encourage people to celebrate life’s precious moments with color.

In an industry dominated by diamonds, Ankur's bold vision is to become the undisputed leader in colored gemstones, aiming to create a cultural shift, rekindling appreciation for the beauty and significance of colored gemstones that have been overshadowed for decades.

Overcoming Challenges and Vertical Integration
Ankur notably navigated challenges like lack of awareness about gemstones and customer perceptions about buying jewelry online through his vertical integration strategy. Spanning gemstone cutting, polishing, jewelry design, manufacturing, and eCommerce retail, he ensures that everything is handled by his in-house team, addressing challenges head-on.

In 2022, Ankur introduced a partnership program. In an effort to nurture entrepreneurship within the company, he is setting up smaller start-up units within Angara that are driven solely by individuals and contribute to overall success. Furthermore, he champions the empowerment of women in leadership roles, attributing the success of Angara in part to the contributions of his own mother and wife.

Looking Ahead
As colored gemstones gain a larger share of the market, Ankur envisions Angara as a name synonymous with color. The company has experienced significant growth and now has a team of around 500 members spread across 10 offices in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Angara Inc. CEO Ankur Daga won a Gold Stevie for Best Entrepreneur in Retail, and Angora Inc. earned an additional Gold and two Silver Stevies for Retail Marketing Campaign of the Year, Fastest Growing Company of the Year, and Achievement in Customer Satisfaction, respectively, in The 2024 American Business Awards^®.

Chicago-based Help at Home has a 50-year history of providing care for vulnerable populations, enabling clients to age in place at home with independence and dignity. The company has grown into a leading national provider of high-quality, relationship-based home care services for Medicaid-eligible seniors and people living with disabilities, now in 11 states.

In 2022, a new leadership team of healthcare executives with the vision to transform in-home personal care services set out to connect the healthcare ecosystem through innovation. In pursuit of this, Help at Home launched the Care Coordination program, which is built from a unique vantage point on caregiver-client relationships. Caregivers are in the home more than 20 hours per week on average, enabling ongoing client observations. The program capitalized on these relationships, implementing a tech-savvy data analytics program, AI, and a clinical team and creating a first-of-its-kind Care Coordination program connecting home care to health care.

Caregiver observations provide insights into serious health conditions or events like household fall hazards through digitized survey tools. Through AI predictive analytics, a clinical support team is alerted, and interventions are triggered that mitigate adverse events, keeping clients out of the hospital or nursing home.

In 2023, Care Coordination from the Help at Home program brought on nearly 2,000 clients and has demonstrated the ability to engage clients at scale, reduce the cost of care, improve care quality, increase caregiver and client satisfaction, and address health-related social needs that improve health equity.

Through partnerships with Medicaid state agencies and health plans, they have seen reductions in the cost of care, optimized health benefits, and positive impacts from social services partnerships, like better access to community housing and food assistance, etc. The program’s first year captured more than a million caregiver observations that sparked analysis leading to 1,300 proactive interventions to connect clients to their healthcare network, social services organizations, or community resources.

For Medicaid and dual-eligible individuals, about 80% of the impact on their health outcomes and cost of care comes from non-medical barriers such as social determinants of health and lifestyle. Help at Home designed the Care Coordination program with a health-equity forward approach to address these health disparities. The company employs community health workers who are in the communities and work with the team that includes the caregiver and other clinicians to intervene, make connections that address health-related social needs, and influence quality of life and health outcomes. In this manner, Help at Home is improving the quality of care provided to a largely underserved Medicaid population. This creates value for provider partners and payers seeking value-based care arrangements, and, over time, will drive down national healthcare spending.

As this skilled team of healthcare-savvy leaders continues to drive growth, resulting in increased scale, density, and operational efficiency, Help at Home is ready to meet the growing demand for home and community-based care for seniors and people living with disabilities utilizing Medicaid or dually eligible supports.

Help At Home won a Gold and two Silver Stevie Awards for Achievement in Product Innovation, Achievement in Growth Status, and Healthcare Communications or PR Campaign of the Year, respectively, in The 2024 American Business Awards^®.
