Anyone working with the challenges of changing
an organisational culture knows the challenges involved in keeping
a focus on the business need. The Denison Organisational Culture
Survey, developed by Daniel Denison and William S. Neale, provides
a way to link organisational culture to tangible bottom-line performance
measures such as:
profitability
quality
innovation
market share
sales growth
employee satisfaction
Based on over 15 years of research involving
over 1,000 organisations, Dr. Daniel Denison, formerly of the University
of Michigan Business School, and currently Professor of Organisational
Development at IMD - International Institute of Management Development
in Lausanne, Switzerland, has studied the cultures of high and low-performing
organisations. He has found that the following four culture traits
can have a significant impact on organisational performance:
Involvement
Adaptability
Consistency
Mission
Traditionally, organisational culture surveys
have taken a behavioural approach making it difficult to link the
results back to business. This survey enables leaders, key stakeholders
and employees to understand the impact their culture has on their
organisation's performance and learn how to redirect their culture
to improve organisational effectiveness.
The Denison Organisational Culture Survey has
60 items that measure specific aspects of an organisation's culture
in each of the four traits and twelve management practices identified
in Dr. Denison's research. Individual surveys are collectively tabulated
into a graphic profile that compares your organisation's culture
to that of higher and lower-performing organisations.
Repeated use of the Denison Organisational Culture
Survey provides a measure of the organisation's progress toward
achieving a high-performance culture and optimum performance. The
survey and the prescriptive suggestions are written in easily understood
business terms, making it a powerful and user-friendly tool.
