Executive Summary

Not a launch.
The start of a conversation.

maximus is preparing to launch six core values across head office and nine additional sites, reaching the full employee population in a single coordinated moment.

This is more than a branding exercise. It is the articulation of a culture that already exists, given language for the first time — at a pivotal moment as the company deepens in technology, continues to serve government, and prepares to enter B2B markets.

The strategy is built around a 4-week launch, a 90-day embedding programme, and a 12-month extension.

By month 12, the values will no longer be something the company says. They will be something the company does.

02
Situation Analysis

The company is at an
inflection point.

Scale, new markets, and a maturing technology offering — all at once. Launching values now anchors who we are as everything else shifts.

The foundation

A culture of trust and accountability already lives inside the organisation. Serving government requires it. The values aren't new — they've never been named.

The challenge

Values launches fail when they feel imposed, when language is generic, or when nothing changes the day after. This plan is designed to avoid each.

The opportunity

A shared internal identity that connects 10 locations, signals maturity to government clients, and becomes a foundation for the B2B expansion ahead.

03
Strategic Objectives

Five objectives.
Each measurable. Each time-bound.

01
Universal awareness within 30 days
Every employee across all 10 sites can name the six values. Target: 80%+ recall.
02
One simultaneous moment
The launch lands on the same day, with the same message, at every site.
03
Values lived, not just known
Within 90 days, values visibly embedded in performance, recognition, daily language.
04
External signal for B2B
A coordinated social campaign converts the internal launch into public brand equity.
05
Foundation for a 12-month programme
The launch is Phase 1. Values extend into hiring, onboarding, leadership in 12 months.
04
Audiences

Five audiences.
One coordinated message.

05
Key Messages

Our values weren't written.
They were recognised.

The thread running through every touchpoint.

each with a reason.

Beyond the Launch

Phase one.

What happens in the 12 months that follow is where the real transformation lives.

Executive Insight

Why this matters
right now.

The B2B expansion ahead will be won or lost on trust. Values make trust visible and defensible.

Every £ spent on this launch is protected by the 12-month embedding programme. The ROI is cultural continuity — lower attrition, stronger employer brand, higher eNPS, a measurably more consistent client experience across 10 sites.

Without this, cultural drift is near-certain at 10 locations. With this, the company speaks with one voice for the next decade.

Governance & Close

A values launch isn't a campaign.
It's the start of a new conversation.

Handled well, it becomes the way the company talks to itself for the next decade.
