The goal of our assignment was to provide the Management teams with means to identify underlying business enablers & derailers, through a company cultural assessment linked to the organization corporate values.
OBSTACLES AVOIDED - Hazards
Let underlying cultural aspects undermine business results and teams efficiency
Underestimate the impact of company values on business operations & teams state of mind
OPPORTUNITIES TAKEN - Freebies
Clarify, anchor & spread company values
Drive strategic changes (new business vision, focus on some some aspects of company culture & values... )
Enhance managerial efficiency & credibility and promote open dialogue with their teams through cultural assessments
Clarify company values definitions and translate them into clear behavioral samples
Analyze the interactions (enablers/derailers) between the various dimensions of the company values
Identify areas of potential issues and strengths of the cultural values (e.g. value "commitment" reinforced by value "rewarding performance" > might enhance risk of burn-outs in a highly demanding but rather unstructured work environment)
Design & roll-out of self-assessment tools for Management teams first. Followed by assessment with team members
Identify areas requiring cultural change in preparation of yearly business action planning
In the process, we have seized the opportunity of the project to bring added-value on some side business aspects.
