P.A.C.E. PROGRESS FRAMEWORK

It's Time To Take Strategic Action

Overview

Many organizations recognize that culture matters — but knowing where to start, how to sustain momentum, and how to measure progress is another challenge entirely.


The P.A.C.E. Progress Framework™, developed by I Follow the Leader, provides a clear, repeatable structure for organizations ready to move from awareness to action. It guides leaders through culture work at a pace that is realistic, intentional, and built to last.


P.A.C.E. stands for Preparation, Assessment, Commitment, and Execution.

The P.A.C.E. Progress Framework was developed by I Follow the Leader, LLC after years of working alongside organizations navigating complex culture challenges. The framework is designed to be cyclical; culture work doesn't end at Execution. 


Organizations return to Preparation as they grow, evolve, and set new priorities. It is a guide for the long term, not a one-time checklist.

Phases

1. PREPARATION.

  • Leadership affirms that having a healthy culture is a strategic priority. 
  • Challenge past beliefs and assumptions. 
  • Acknowledge that the process will be an ongoing journey. 

2. ASSESSMENT.

 

The Cultural Audit Phase*


  • Survey key stakeholders to gather candid, anonymous insight about the current culture. 
  •  Listen to stakeholders' feedback about diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging through a multitude of conversations. Examples: 1:1 interviews, focus groups, strategy sessions. 
  •  Review policies, procedures, and communications related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Examples: Hiring policies, onboarding documents, jobs page. 


*Our firm recommends following best practices and having an experienced outside company conduct your cultural audit and provide you with recommendations on the next steps.

3. COMMITMENT.

 

  • Prioritize next steps based on the Cultural Audit results.
  • Develop a Culture Action and Measurement Plan. 
  • Invest in learning and development. Examples: Host a Courageous Leadership or Respectful Workplace Training. Facilitate a Courageous Conversation or Strategy Session.

4. EXECUTION.

 

  • Track progress regularly.  
  • Measure Results. If the strategy phase was fully executed, you will have metrics listed in your measurement plan for each activity listed in your action plan.
  • Share results with internal and external stakeholders. Recommend quarterly updates.
