Corporate Culture can actually be measured. We elicit people's values, the organization's perceived values and desired values. Results are analyzed through Richard Barrett's Seven Levels of Consciousness model.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?
WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE?
“...in our research, we found the visionary company was
guided more by a core ideology - core values and a sense of
purpose in building their company - beyond just making
products and money”
- Jim Collins, author of “Good to Great”
“The real role of the leader is to manage the values of the
corporaHon.”
- Tom Peters author of “In Search of Excellence”

whole selves to work

and increase shared understanding.
We believe that values are a powerful language for realising human poten8al in an
empowering workplace climate.

Let’s talk!
WHY IS CULTURE IMPORTANT?
A 2003 Harvard Business School study reported that
culture has a significant impact on an organisaHon's long-
term economic performance. Adkins and Caldwell (2004)
found that job saHsfacHon was posiHvely associated with
the degree to which employees fit into both the overall
culture and subculture in which they worked.
OrganisaHonal culture also has an impact on recruitment
and retenHon.
WHEN IS THE RIGHT TIME?
A mismatch of the organisaHon’s perceived culture and
what employees feel the culture should be is related to a
number of negaHve consequences including lower job
saHsfacHon, disengagement, general stress, and costly
turnover.
DeterioraHng company performance and an unhealthy
work environment are signs of an overdue cultural
assessment.
VALUES BASED LEADERSHIP
“ Clarifying the value system and breathing life into it are
the greatest contribuHons a leader can make.”
Peters and Waterman, “In Search of Excellence:
Lessons from America’s best run companies”, 1983
“The excellent companies developed cultures that
incorporated the values and pracHces of their great
leaders, and those shared values can be seen to survive
for decades.”
Tom Peters “In Search of Excellence: Lessons from
America’s best run companies 1983

13. OUR assessments
HOW DO YOU DO THE ASSESSMENTS?
Your employees answer three simple questions by
selecting values from a list. Results are mapped to the
Seven Levels of Consciousness model and deliver a
comprehensive cultural diagnostic. Detailed reports are
provided for each demographic group.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?
The assessment process takes about six weeks, from
customisation of the values list, survey set-up, two weeks
time-window for collecting answers, report writing and
feedback / shared analysis workshop.
CAN WE AFFORD THIS?
A streamlined process making effective use of online
technology and a pricing structure that makes your cost
independent from the number of individual participants
gives us confidence that you will be pleasantly surprised
by our quote.
WE WORK WITH BOTH INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS
1. INDIVIDUAL
INDIVIDUAL VALUES ASSESSMENT - IVA
How aligned are you with the culture and values of
your organisation and with the work you do? Do
you think the organisation is on the right track?
These questions and more are answered with an
Individual Values Assessment (IVA).
LEADERSHIP VALUES ASSESSMENT - LVA
Do you know what others appreciate about you?
Do you know what advice your boss, peers and
subordinates can offer you to improve your
leadership style? Do you know how you are
contributing to the cultural entropy of the
organisation?
The LVA compares your own perception of your
operating style with the perception of your
superiors, peers and subordinates. Emphasis is
placed on your strengths, areas for improvement,
and opportunities for growth.

culture, and to what extent employees are aligned with
them.
