Last 8% Culture System
Accelerate your strategy and achieve results by building high-performing teams that take risks to do hard things – to embrace what we term “Last 8% Moments“.
You may have hired great people, developed a compelling product, and even achieved good results BUT you are not getting the great results that you know is possible. What’s getting in the way?
After 25 years of research and work with some of the world’s highest performing organizations, we have identified that high-performing teams are the teams that are most willing to take risks with courage and connection to drive great results.
Here are the issues we know you face:
Going from Good to Great
Navigating Organizational Change Successfully
Lack of Innovation and Agility
Retention and Attraction of Top Talent to Support Growth
Stagnating Growth and Low Productivity
Managing Remote or Hybrid Teams
Achieve Great Results in Months, Not Years
The Last 8% Culture System is designed to create the optimal conditions necessary to accelerate high-performance by focusing on teams, where culture truly lives. By targeting the fundamental unit where culture exists, we ensure quick and effective culture integration.
We empower people leaders with the necessary skills and tools to drive culture, creating a ripple effect that promotes excellence throughout the organization. Our system integrates learning into daily work, allowing immediate application and reinforcement of new skills, thus speeding up cultural adoption.
Unlike traditional methods that can take years to show results, our system accelerates cultural transformation and delivers tangible outcomes in a matter of months. Our structured team-based sprints challenge teams progressively, accelerating learning and ensuring sustainable cultural change. Grounded in neuroscience, our system strengthens key skills through repetition and social learning, enhancing performance under pressure.
Seamlessly integrated into existing workflows, the Last 8% Culture System minimizes disruptions while maximizing cultural impact. By transforming your organization in months, not years, we create a high-performance culture that drives exceptional results.

Why the Last 8% System Builds High-Performance Culture
Culture does not exist across an organization. The fundamental unit where culture exists and exerts itself is on teams. For this reason, your people leaders are the critical element to successfully building culture at scale across the organization.
The Last 8% Culture System has been built to help you create the conditions necessary for high-performance to occur on your teams and across the entire company. Using a series of team-based sprints, learning occurs in the flow of work and delivers simple and sticky ideas and tools to help you build a high-performance culture in months, not years.
Accountability, Commitment, and Results
Our system produces a higher level of accountability, commitment to change and overall performance because it works at the team level, where culture exists, and equips team leaders with a framework to own and collaboratively shape their team’s culture, enhancing team members’ sense of control, effort, and commitment.
Scalable Change
Our system seamlessly integrates into the flow of work, across all organizational levels making scalability effortless and enabling changes to take effect within months, not years. This approach minimizes disruptions to day-to-day work.
Change That Sticks
By drawing on the latest advances in neuroscience and behavior change insights, our system drives enduring and impactful change. We concentrate on only the most important ideas and skills, using repetition and social learning to strengthen neural connections. This enhances recall in high-pressure situations when it’s needed most.
Transforming Culture for Enhanced Performance
“Our employee retention is significant due to our Last 8% Culture. We’ve gone from a 17.5% turnover rate to an 11% turnover rate in the past year and a half, something like that translates into real dollars. When we talk about that turnover rate and going from a ratio of losing 250 people a year to a third of that or half of that, that can be real money, close to $10 million bucks actually if you really look at it.” Paul Zurlo, CEO & President, Blue Cross of Idaho
