Denison Organizational Culture Survey

The Denison Organizational Culture Survey® translates often difficult-to-understand behavioral concepts about organizational culture into tangible everyday business actions and strategies. It enables leaders, key stakeholders and employees of all levels to understand the impact their culture has on the organization's performance and learn how to redirect their culture to improve organizational effectiveness.

Scenario

Individuals throughout the organization provide anonymous, confidential feedback to 60 items on a scannable form or through an internet connection. The responses are collected at the Scoring Center for tabulation and are aggregated into the organization's data file. A Summary Report presents a color graphic that interprets the results in aggregate format and then provides detail about each survey item and 12 cultural attributes comprised of responses to these 60 items. Results can be broken out by subgroups (departments, divisions, locations, etc.) if arranged in advance of the survey.

Comparisons are made to high-performing and low-performing organizations. Periodic surveys using the Denison Organizational Culture Survey® can help an organization stay on track with developing the desired performance culture.
