To create a strong and living IKEA culture is to inspire, challenge and empower each other to work together, find better ways and get things done.
It’s about movement
To create a strong and living IKEA culture is about creating movement. For this to happen, people need to feel safe and confident to take risks. But also challenged to open up for new opportunities. We need to feel both supported and challenged to be our best selves. Through this we learn, develop and create movement. This in turn nurtures a culture where we work together, find better ways and get things done.We need to feel both supported and challenged to be our best selves
Support & Challenge Model
Use this Support & Challenge Model as a tool to explore how you can nurture an IKEA culture that inspires, challenges and empowers people to work together, find better ways and get things done.

To nurture a culture of high challenge level and high support, gather colleagues for a workshop where you explore:
- Where are we today? Explore the model and position yourself as individuals, teams and as an organisation.
- Where do we want to be? Explore the movement you want to make and why.
- How do we get there? Explore what you need to do more or less of. Are you acknowledging and encouraging each other? Are you asking ‘what if’ and challenging boundaries?
