It is the organizations score benchmarked against the average of all other organizations in the database. This average is called a norm or benchmark. This organization, for example, scored better than 68 percent of all of the companies in the database in the area of Goals and Objectives.This is one of the three dimensions that measure behaviors for the Empowerment bucket. Each of the index. Each index consists of five survey items.The profile is colored to show the quartile in which the percentile falls. This score, for example, falls in the third quartile.Beliefs and assumptions are at the heart of culture, but are too hard to measure Survey focuses on measuring visible managerial behaviors practices.Case Study: 100 Year Old Manufacturing CompanyWhat patterns do you see in this organization?What are their strengths?What are their weaknesses?What might this mean for their business?Case Study: 100 Year Old Manufacturing CompanyStrengths Effective at producing the same products and servicesTeam work is encouragedShort term goals are clearVulnerabilitiesNot listening to the marketplace: they will be overtaken by their competitors quicklyNo innovation to keep them going in the futureNot listening to their customersWith your low Adaptability scores, I can respond to the market more quickly with innovative products and beat this company in market share.With your low Empowerment and Capability Development scores, your top talent is probably hard to attract and harder to keep. As a competitor, Ill try to steal your best talent away from you.You have a sense of your short term goals and objectives, but they are not being informed by your long term vision. This tells me that your good at execution, but with no real sense of direction.Interpretation GuidelinesA suggested process for interpreting resultsOur ResultsAdd Your ResultsStep 1: Big Picture Strengths and ChallengesWhat are the areas of strength more color?

In recent decades, research has shown that culture plays a critical part in the success and performance of an organization. Culture is the deeply held beliefs and assumptions by the people in the organization that affect how they work every day. Change is hard. Changing our underlying beliefs and assumptions is harder. We have chosen to measure our culture based on the Denison Organizational Culture Survey. This tool has been selected by more than 5,000 companies worldwide. Denison Consulting has proven capabilities in helping organizations measure, monitor and enhance their cultures -- and achieve improved business outcomes as a result. Beliefs and Assumptions:At the center of the model are Beliefs and Assumptions. Each of us have deeply held beliefs about our organization, our coworkers, our customers, our competitors and our industry. These beliefs and assumptions, and their associated behaviors, determine the culture of an organization. The Denison model and surveys allow us to surface the underlying belief and assumptions in recognizable and measurable ways that impact organizational performance. TraitsThe Denison Model answers four key questions about our organization:Mission Do we know where we are going?Involvement Are our people aligned and engaged?Adaptability Are we listening to the marketplace?Consistency Do we have the systems and processes in place to create leverage?Each Trait Mission, Involvement, Adaptability, Consistency is further broken down in to 3 indexes. Mission: Defining a meaningful long-term direction for the organization. Strategic Direction Intent: Do employees understand the strategies identified by the organization and do they think the strategies will work?Goals Objectives: Are there short-term goals that help link what employees do on a day-to-day basis to the strategy and vision of the organization? Do employees understand how their job fits in? Vision: Do employees share a common desired future state for the organization? Do they understand the vision? Does it motivate and excite them?Adaptability: Translating the demands of the external environment into action.Creating Change: Can employees read the external environment and react to trends and changes? Do employees constantly look for new and improved ways to do their work?Customer Focus: Do we understand the needs of our customers? Are employees committed to responding to their ever-changing needs? Is customer focus a primary concern throughout the organization? Organizational Learning: Is importance placed on learning in the workplace? Do we create an environment where reasonable risk taking and innovation can occur? Do we share knowledge across the organization? Involvement: Building human capability and creating a shared sense of ownership and responsibility throughout the organization.Empowerment: Do employees feel informed and involved in the work that they do? Do they feel they can have a positive impact on the organization? Team Orientation: Is teamwork encouraged AND practiced in the organization? Do employees value collaboratio"
