Transforming Leadership and Culture at Future Biogas
When Future Biogas first partnered with Culturev8te, the business was growing rapidly – powered by a clear purpose, an ambitious strategy, and a passionate team.
As the organisation expanded, the leadership team recognised an opportunity to strengthen alignment, enhance collaboration and embed a shared approach to leading and communicating.
That’s where the partnership began – with a shared ambition to bring clarity and connection to leadership across the business.
A Strategic Reset for the Senior Leadership Team
The journey began with a four-day senior leadership programme focused on uniting around purpose, values, and direction.
Using Insights Discovery, the team built a common language to understand individual communication styles, strengths and working preferences.
This was not just a development experience – it was a defining moment that strengthened relationships, trust, and collective focus.
“It was a powerful shift, full of lightbulb moments. That work laid the foundations for everything that’s happened since.”
— Jenny Bannerman, HR Director
The programme brought new awareness and momentum, empowering the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to operate with greater unity and purpose. With refreshed energy and a shared vision, the SLT emerged as a confident, high-performing team, ready to lead the next phase of growth.
Developing Confident, Capable Managers
With the SLT realigned and energised, the focus turned to supporting managers across the organisation – many of whom had progressed into leadership roles as the business scaled.
Through the Grow Together programme, we worked with over 30 senior and middle managers to strengthen core leadership capabilities – from effective one-to-ones and communication to feedback and accountability.
Managers developed the confidence and tools to:
- Understand and embrace their individual leadership style
- Communicate clearly and constructively
- Empower their teams to take ownership and thrive
“You’ve given our managers more confidence to lead, not just manage. They’re having better one-to-ones, being more collaborative and thoughtful in their communication and making more informed decisions.”
Embedding a Shared Language and Culture
To bring this shared understanding to life across the whole business, Insights Discovery was rolled out to every colleague in the business. A company-wide event introduced the tools in a fun, inclusive, and engaging way, helping everyone understand themselves and others better.
This shared language has enhanced collaboration, empathy, and communication across departments – creating a stronger sense of connection and community.
To sustain the approach, Jenny trained as an in-house Insights Practitioner, supported by Culturev8te at every step, ensuring long-term impact and continued growth from within.
A Culture of Clarity, Accountability and Confidence
As a result of this work, Future Biogas continues to develop its culture of openness, accountability, and shared purpose. Leaders and teams alike are now equipped with the skills and confidence to have constructive conversations, address challenges proactively, and celebrate success together.
“There’s a real positive energy in our culture. We’re talking in colour all around the business – and people feel more empowered to make a difference.”
Managers are actively seeking out development opportunities, collaboration across teams continues to grow, and we are excited to keep developing ways to keep Insights alive as a powerful and relatable leadership tool.
A Trusted, Long-Term Partnership
For Jenny Bannerman, working with Culturev8te has felt like having a trusted strategic partner – not just a consultancy.
From strategy and structure to leadership and culture, this partnership has touched every part of the organisation – and continues to help Future Biogas grow with purpose, confidence, and collaboration.
