Culture Surveys
Objective culture assessment
Our diagnostics bring the culture factors which operate to create your organization’s uniqueness to life. We do this through research-based, data-driven surveys and other methods that reveal culture strengths, areas for development and priority areas for attention. We have a suite of surveys to meet your needs.
Our surveys and tools are founded on constructs and models of culture dynamics that we have developed based on the work of social scientists in the area of national and organizational culture, including Geert Hofstede and Fons Tromenpaars, as well as The GLOBE Study of 62 Societies by House, Hanges and others. The GLOBE Study involved approximately 17,000 managers from 951 organizations operating in 62 societies with a research team of 170 scholars and research scientists from the same 62 countries.
Culture Snapshot™
The Culture Snapshot survey reveals the strength of your organization's culture patterns (organizational and leader practices, group norms of behavior and beliefs) that strongly influence your organization’s vitality and the success of its strategic direction and goals.
The Culture Snapshot consists of a Foundation Culture Snapshot survey that focuses on eight culture dimensions that contribute to a vibrant and effective work environment. This is a broad scan across multiple aspects of culture using 85 survey statements and two open-ended questions.
In addition the Culture Snapshot can be customized to your organization by selecting a Strategic Focus survey module that assesses a strategic area such as Customer Experience, Innovation, Operational Excellence and Reliability or by selecting a Deep Dive module that assesses a strategic capability such as Collaboration, Competitiveness, Performance & Results or Learning & Agility. There is also a module for Not for Profit organizations.
The Culture Snapshot report provides a culture scorecard, such as the one below, of your organization's culture strengths and development areas, including priority areas for attention. Imagine if this was your organization's culture scorecard. What would you now know?

The Communication Pulse
The Communications Pulse Survey focuses on the impact of leader behavior and organizational practices on communications, the openness of information sharing and dialogue, and the level of trust underpinning communication dynamics.
This survey will be of interest to Communications, Human Resources, Organizational Development departments and senior leaders who want to take communications to its next level of effectiveness. It will identify strengths and where, specifically, there are breakdowns. It gets to the heart of communications – leaders and their conversations with their people.

The Collaboration Pulse
The Collaboration Pulse Survey focuses on the impact of leader behavior and organizational practices around collaboration. It probes collaboration from a multi-level perspective: from the individual leader perspective, how are bridges being built in his or her networks; from the work group point of view, how is teamwork being developed so the group can work effectively; from within the organization, how is horizontal alignment and capacity to share information and ideas being developed; and, from an external point of view, how is the organization partnering with its stakeholders.
This survey will be of interest to organizations that want to strengthen solution generation and who are interested in finding out how the effectiveness and speed of cross-boundary work can be improved. As a needs assessment tool, it can be used by departments to identify opportunities to take collaboration to new levels, or by Human Resources, Organizational Development, Information Technology and other functions to identify training and resource needs.
