Culture is built room by room,
starting with you.
Consultancy, workshops and coaching to help your people be more inclusive, connected and effective.
He aha te mea nui? Māku e kii atu, he tāngata, he tāngata, he tāngata.
What is the most important thing in the world? Well, let me tell you, it is people, it is people, it is people.

Kia ora!
Hello, I'm Stu Savage, founder of The Culture Room and an organisational Culture Consultant.
I work alongside organisations in New Zealand and overseas that want to build an inclusive, connected and effective culture, one that people feel part of and that shows in the way they work together.
Over the last 25 years I've worked in sport management and education across the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Whether in management, administration, teaching or coaching, I have been part of countless teams and workplaces, and I've seen first-hand what makes culture work and what gets in its way. Those experiences shape everything I do, alongside current research, practical models, real case studies and plenty of storytelling.
I am a self-confessed culture geek. I'm usually reading about organisational culture or listening to podcasts on the subject, and now I make one too The Culture 360 Podcast. Away from work, I am a dad in beautiful Aotearoa New Zealand, a Manchester United and Wigan Rugby League supporter, and a runner who is trying to stay fit while dodging Wellington's 360-degree winds.
Delivering quality educational opportunities
The Culture Room focuses on delivering quality educational opportunities i.e. workshops for organisations, workplaces, and teams in any industry. By guiding and supporting the client, I aim to create or develop their own unique culture through facilitation. What is ‘the way you do things around here?’ in your organisation (or want to do them?). Culture is about people and interaction within their teams and groups. It is about the way people think and behave in their teams. It hones in on leadership, beliefs, values, attitudes, assumptions, rituals, traditions, and behaviours. So, it relates to anybody that interacts in a group or anywhere with people!
My Approach
Is to firstly engage with the client, to listen and to understand their own bespoke needs, and then to deliver a tailored workshop that meets those requirements. What does your current culture look, sound and feel like? What does an effective culture look, sound and feel like? Using a diverse range of exercises, we can unpack this together and then evolve or develop your own unique and effective culture for the future.
