Culture Assessment

ChangeworksGlobal utilizes the Denison Organizational Culture Survey to measure and link organizational culture to tangible bottom-line performance measures such as:

• profitability • market share • quality
• sales growth • innovation • employee satisfaction

Based on over 15 years of researching the cultures of more than 1000 high and low-performing organizations, the survey measures four culture traits that can have a significant impact on organizational performance:

• adaptability • mission • involvement • consistency

Traditionally, organizational culture surveys have taken a behavioral approach (see Model Comparisons) making it difficult to link the results back to business. This survey enables leaders, key stakeholders, and employees to understand the impact their culture has on their organization's performance. ChangeworksGlobal has particular expertise in helping organization's redirect and align their culture and strategy to improve overall effectiveness.
