Initiate a dialogue and a process of change

The Organizational Culture Scan is a strategic tool designed to help organizations create a functional culture by visualizing the following:
  • The actual culture within an organization
  • Potential external constraints that limit the optimal organizational culture
  • Hidden pain points
  • The conditions for change
 

Description

The Organizational Culture Scan helps you determine your optimal culture, aligned with your organization’s strategy. The scan identifies gaps between the actual and optimal cultures, including detailed information about the cause(s) of these gaps. It also highlights valuable additional information-strengths vs. weaknesses, common characteristics, early warning signs, and other notable findings. It provides input for change.

When to Use It?

There are several scenarios in which using the Organizational Culture Scan is recommended:
  • If you think there is room for improvement within the organization
  • If you have a specific issue, for example: efficiency needs to be improved, there are problems with trust and collaboration, you want to become more customer-focused, you need to increase retention and/or work motivation, or you want to reduce the risk of burnout
  • For mergers and acquisitions to facilitate the integration of two cultures
  • Before any organizational change process, as input to ensure the change is successful
 

Why the Organizational Culture Scan?

The key benefits of using the Organizational Culture Scan:
  • Ensure a smooth change process
  • Avoid costly mistakes
  • Know who you are before you start changing
  • See what you’re missing because you are what you want to be
 

How does it work?

By taking the following 8 steps:
  1. Talk to a certified consultant
  2. Define the subcultures to assess
  3. Inform employees about the project
  4. Complete the online scan and/or conduct in-depth interviews
  5. Define an optimal culture
  6. Analyze the gap report
  7. Decide whether to implement change or not
  8. Verify the effectiveness of the implemented changes
 

Project duration:

  • 4-6 weeks for measurement and analysis
  • The internal change process can take approximately 2 years and depends on individual cases.
