Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS)

Conducting an organizational culture survey based on the Denison Model provides a clear picture of what your organization needs to do to achieve higher performance. While organizations more commonly recognize that culture has a direct impact on performance improving quality, safety, retention, profitability, EBITA—it’s often unclear what changes need to be made to have the greatest impact.

The survey report provides results of the culture in visual, easy-to-capture form. In addition, through the survey, interviews and analysis of results in workshops, the underlying believes and assumptions of the organizational culture are revealed. This way the development actions are directly connected to the root causes that need to be solved, to enable sustainable organizational development.

With Denison Model it is easy to monitor the impact of the development actions through a lighter “Change monitor” –survey. Additional content modules are also available to track employee commitment, organizational innovation, employee engagement, organizational trust, safety, or risk management.

Analysing the Alignment between Strategy & Culture

The Denison Organizational Culture Survey allows the assessment of the cultural elements needed to execute against a strategy (for example: customer understanding, capabilities, collaboration, change, and learning). By looking deeper across levels and into key business units/functions, we are able to pinpoint where and how energy, resources, and influence should be used to help drive change. By linking your organizational culture data to your performance metrics, Denison’s advanced analytics can target the cultural areas that have the strongest links to the KPIs that matter most to you.
