Work culture is the driver of your organizational performance
Culture is the invisible force that shapes how people in your organization think and behave. It is largely determined by the messages you send through your behaviors—as well as the symbols, processes and systems you design and manage.
Culture evolves when these messages change in a consistent and sustained way.
Surface gaps and lead the conversations most leadership teams avoid
The Organizational Culture Inventory® (OCI) is a validated tool that helps leaders measure, understand, and transform organizational culture. This exercise based on the OCI offers a quick yet insightful snapshot of your “reading” of the current culture of your organization.
Complete this 5-minute exercise to create a map of your organization's culture
Note: This brief exercise provides preliminary insights for reflection. The results you receive are likely to differ somewhat from the valid, reliable, and normed results generated by the full OCI® when administered to all members of your organization or a subunit.

Instructions
- Examine the twelve cultural styles shown in the circular diagram below. Each style represents norms and expectations for a specific set of behaviors.

Use a scale of:
- Minimal extent (inner circle)
