With the fast pace of business, organizations find themselves constantly needing to adapt to new challenges in the marketplace to stay relevant. Research is clear that an aligned culture is a critical success factor. There are a number of tools that purport to provide important information on culture variables. The key question is do they shine a light on how your culture promotes or inhibits organizational performance?

The Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS) has increasingly become the cultural and organizational effectiveness assessment tool of choice. It has been used by more than 5,000 companies worldwide since first becoming available over 20 years ago.

Using the Denison Organizational Culture Survey, organizations are able to benchmark their organizational culture scores against a global database and develop action plans to improve their current practices. The DOCS is designed to assess an organization’s strengths and weaknesses as they apply to organizational performance. The survey has 60 items that measure specific aspects of an organization's culture in each of the four traits and twelve management practices outlined in the Denison Model.

We work closely with your team to customize the scale and scope of your survey implementation. In particular, we help you identify the core organizational areas that will be assessed by the survey, and discuss any additional areas you might wish to explore through additional survey components, including scaled items, open-ended questions and Content Modules.

By implementing the Denison Organizational Culture Survey and Denison Leadership Development Survey, organizations are able to:

• Assess the strengths and weaknesses that are impacting their performance
• Identify areas of focus for improvement
• Align their culture change and leadership development initiatives when leveraging both surveys
• Create action plans, focusing on the priorities for change
