Can you articulate your organisations' culture and does it support your business strategy?

These are important questions which require understanding for an organisation to be truly successful.  Culture is the life blood of the organisation.  It provides the insight into how people are expected to behave, the amount of autonomy, empowerment and responsibility they have.  

Although senior management strive to guide behaviour through statements of desired values, how culture really works is that organisational members look to signals regarding what is expected of them through the forces they face on a day-to-day basis.   These forces are structures, systems, technologies, skills/qualities which determine members belief in how they should behave & feel that shapes the true operating culture of the organisation.

"The bottom line for leaders is that if they do not become conscious of the cultures in which they are embedded, those cultures will manage them. Cultural understanding is desirable for all of us, it is essential for leaders if they are to lead” ... Edgar Schein

Organisational Development is about measurement and identification of organisational factors that encourage and inhibit performance.   Organisational measurement tools are designed to:

measure current beahvioural norms, processes and outcomes

identify levers for change

highlight barriers to organisational effectiveness

develop strategies for improvement

monitor change and improvement over time

Innerchoices facilitates organisational change by utilising Human Synergistics proven analytical measurement tool, Organsiational Culture Inventory (OCI), which defines where you and your team want the culture to be and where it is presently.   OCI will demonstrate what drives your people to make the choices they do.   This will form the foundation for growing your organization and its people, whilst highlighting the levers for change that are required to move forward.   We then partner with you in providing a coherent, sensible, pragmatic action based plan for shifting the culture from what it is now to what it needs to be.   Because culture influences the behaviour of organisation members, it has a powerful impact on the ability of an organisation to achieve its goals and objectives.
