Background
Gamlaa Bioscape is a leading green landscape company committed to creating sustainable and environmentally friendly spaces for organizations. As Gamlaa Bioscape grew and broadened its services, leadership recognized a need to strengthen the company’s internal culture and ensure core principles guided operations. The expansion highlighted inconsistencies in approach and identity, prompting a strategic focus on organizational alignment. To unify teams and maintain a strong, shared direction, Gamlaa Bioscape embarked on a significant cultural transformation effort. This initiative aims to deeply integrate the company’s foundational values into every aspect of the business, ensuring a cohesive and purpose-driven organization despite increasing scale and diversity.
Challenge
Despite a strong reputation in the green landscape industry, Gamlaa Bioscape faced several challenges related to its organizational identity and strategic direction:

- Inconsistent Organizational Culture : Core values were not consistently reflected in employee behaviors and decision-making.
- Alignment Gaps Across Departments : Business units operated in silos, leading to misalignment in strategy execution.
- Market Positioning Challenges : Without a distinct and unified mission, brand differentiation in new markets became difficult.
- Employee Engagement & Purpose : Employees lacked a sense of purpose, impacting motivation and retention.
Facing these challenges, Gamlaa Bioscape implemented a structured approach to embed core principles, aiming for cultural behaviors that visibly reflect its values and define the company culture.
