Assess Organizational Culture to Help Create High Performance

“LSA Global really shifted our perspective about organizational culture.

The 3 C’s approach to workplace culture is very practical and really helps  executive teams — even skeptical ones — ensure that your culture is healthy, high performing, and aligned.”

Amy Cappellanti-Wolf | Chief Human Resources Officer | Symantec Corporation

Whether implicit or explicit, every organization has a current workplace culture based on its legacy, its ways, and its leadership.  The company culture, represented by how work gets done (especially when no one is looking) is a critical component in terms of strategy execution, performance, and employee engagement.

  • Our organizational alignment research tells us that corporate culture accounts for up to 40% of the difference between high and low performing organizations.
  • A recent study of over 1,000 senior executives by Duke University found that 84% of leaders do not think that their corporate culture is where it needs to be, and 92% believe that improving workplace culture would improve their company’s value.

In a nutshell, your organizational culture is either helping or hindering your ability to successfully implement your business AND people strategies.

Aligned organizational cultures create positive momentum and cohesion that allow them to grow 58% faster, be 72% more profitable, satisfy customers 3.2-to-1, and engage employees 16.8-to-1.  Unaligned cultures act as a debilitating drag on a company’s focus and ability to perform at its peak.

How aligned and effective is your culture in driving business results and attracting and retaining the right talent?  Assess and prioritize organizational culture to determine if your corporate culture is aligned with your strategic aspirations.

We assess and prioritize organizational culture by combining targeted interviews and focus groups with one of the following proven cultural assessment tools:

  1. Cultural Alignment Assessment
    Measures organizational health and the level of strategic and cultural alignment across 10 research-backed dimensions of culture to improve strategy execution and performance.
  2. Denison Culture Survey
    Measures the underlying beliefs, values, assumptions, practices, and behaviors that have a direct link to business performance.
  3. 3x Alignment Survey: Strategy, Culture & Talent
    Provides a snapshot of the level of alignment between your business strategy, organizational culture, and talent to identify the weak links.
  4. Define and Live Core Values
    A proven process to assess, define, and implement corporate values, competencies, and behaviors to get aligned.

We work with senior leadership teams to identify the critical corporate culture moves that will have the greatest impact on business performance and organizational health.  The suggested actions are more than “nice to have” cultural characteristics.  They represent critical environmental factors to optimize business and people performance for your unique set of circumstances.

Please contact us if you want to better assess and prioritize organizational culture to get aligned with your business AND people strategies.

The experiential New Employee Orientation was an incredible success for 2,500+ new hires over 4 years spread across the globe.

We could never have done it without their unmatched combination of expertise, professionalism, and creativity that aligned everything with our unique culture and growth strategy.

It was a challenge to find a consultant with an approach to performance improvement that fit our unique performance culture and style. We were pleasantly surprised to discover LSA’s depth of expertise in the fields of motivation, developmental coaching, performance management, and measurement.

LSA seamlessly integrated those components without our folks feeling like the intervention was forced. They understood what we were trying to accomplish, helped us clarify our objectives, and created a solid, refreshing approach that quickly got us moving and engaged at all levels across the organization.

Overall, I couldn’t be happier that we found a true strategy and implementation partner in LSA.
