  • How to estimate your firm's annual turnover cost

  • A one-page self-scoring worksheet

Why Is This Free?

Because the biggest barrier to culture investment isn't budget — it's awareness. Most service business leaders don't act on their culture problem because they've never quantified the cost or seen a clear path forward.

These resources exist to close that gap. If they help you understand your culture cost and give you a starting point — that's the goal. Whether or not you ever engage with TPCS, this information has value and you should have it.

If the resources resonate and you want to go deeper, the full TPCS system — four pillars built across six phases — is where the real transformation happens.
