Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCA)

Research of successful organisations has proven time and time again that a company’s success depends on the extent to which its culture matches the demands of the competitive environment.

The OCAI survey:

 

1. Measures the six dimensions of a company’s culture: Dominant characteristics, organisational leadership, management of employees, organisational glue, strategic emphases and criteria for success.
2. Determines the current as well as preferred culture of your employees.
3. Plots where your company is based on the four culture dimensions:

• Hierarchy culture: Ideal for organisations that have stable, efficient, highly consistent products and services.
• Market culture: Refers to companies that need to focus primarily on transactions with external customers, suppliers and regulators. The core values of this culture are competitiveness and productivity.
• Clan culture: Best suited for businesses where shared values and goals, cohesion, participation and a sense of “we-ness” need to permeate the company.
• Adhocracy culture: Essential for companies that have to respond to hyper-turbulent, ever-accelerating global markets where an innovative and pioneering culture is critical.

The results help to determine:

 

• What your company’s current culture mix is.
• Where your people want the company to be culturally.
• The type of culture most suitable to be successful in your industry.
• Which of the six dimensions need the most urgent attention.
• What leadership style is needed to cultivate the appropriate culture.
• What critical managerial competencies need to be developed.
• What values need to be instilled to promote the desired culture.
• What areas need more focus, development and training.

Management Skills Assessment Instrument (MSAI)

Identifies the leadership competencies they need in order to excel at facilitating culture change. The MSAI is a 360-degree instrument that measures a manager’s capacity in twelve competency categories, based on the skills needed to lead in each of the four main cultures from the OCAI assessment.

Organisational Leadership Assessment (OLA)

The purpose of this instrument is to allow organisations to discover how their leadership practices and beliefs impact the way people perform. It assesses a company’s health, based on six key areas of effective organisational leadership. These key areas of organisational and leadership practices are critical to achieving optimal health.

 

The results will:

• Determine on which of the six health levels does the company currently stand (from toxic to optimal).
• Highlight which of the six key leadership practices needs
• Show the perception gap between managers and workers in the six key areas.
• Reveal the level of job satisfaction amongst employees.
• Determine your level of readiness for change.

Employee Engagement Questionnaire

This questionnaire is designed around the four essential business outcomes: productivity, profitability, retention and customer satisfaction. It determines the level of engagement based on their experience and feelings concerning:

• Work environment/procedures:  This factor looks at issues such as safety, cleanliness, remuneration, benefits and policies.

• Immediate supervision: This factor addresses the issues relating to the behaviour of the employee’s immediate supervisions. These include selection, recognition,               development, trust, understanding and discipline.

• Team/co-workers: This factor examines the employee’s perception of their fellow team members when it comes to cooperation, shared goals, communication and trust.

• Overall company management: This factor explores issues relating to company initiatives and its leaders. It assesses the employee’s faith in the company’s mission and strategy, as well as the competence of the leaders themselves.

• Individual commitment: This factor evaluates the employee’s own sense of commitment to the company and its customers. It examines the individual’s pride in the company, likelihood to recommend the company to friends as a place to work, longevity of work commitment and desire to provide excellent service to customers.
