Organizational Culture Inventory®

Training Workshop – Module Overview

The “Organizational Culture Inventory® (OCI)”The system is based on extensive research, used by more than 5 million people world-wide and boasts more than 20 years data and history. The system includes multiple organizational behavior analysis tools for individuals, teams and organizations which reinforce and complement each other. The OCI measures the ideal and current operating culture of the organization and is often combined with the Organizational Effectiveness Inventory (OEI) which assists with the change effort, indicating most effective change levers and outcomes.

Managing culture is among the most important - and most difficult - challenges facing organizational leaders. The OCI measures both actual and ideal values and norms. The results are presented in a comprehensive feedback report that tells the story of how an organization’s culture really works. Based on members’ responses, it describes how the current culture evolved, where disconnects ideal culture and current operating culture as well as the impact of the current operating culture on outcomes. This is achieved through delivery of online measurement surveys and questionnaires throughout the organization. The resulting gap analysis is used to plan and implement a culture transformation.

This workshop introduces the tools and language which allow individuals to become aware of current actual behavior which shapes the culture and offers development options to create a more constructive engagement focused culture. All based on participants’ own description of the organizations current and ideal culture.

Pre-workshop online measurement surveys, tutorial sessions, case studies, practical exercises, presentations and syndicate work make this a proactive, hands-on course.
