Organizational DNA
Just as human DNA contains a set of instructions for how people function, organizational DNA contains instructions for how organizations perform. It’s the blueprint for your company culture—the genetic code that helps leaders create environments that engage, align, and influence people to get things done. Our process reveals your unique DNA.
Your Organizational DNA is unique because it is based on:
- Your history as a company.
- People’s personal history.
- The tension between those histories and the direction you want to take for future success.
This tension is expressed through your:
Strategy:
Your direction: how you set it, how clear it is to everyone.
Leadership:
The behaviors and actions of leaders to create the momentum needed to execute your direction.
Culture:
How your norms, values, and purpose influence people to support your direction.
Execution:
How people’s decisions and behavior impact your direction.
Our research shows that these tensions are expressed through four key aspects of your operating culture: your strategy, your leadership behaviors, your cultural norms, and how people make decisions. By measuring how these different aspects of your operating culture interact with each other and impact your strategy execution, we provide tailored insights that provide sustained success. We show you what works for you.
If your organization isn’t performing the way it needs to, strengthening your organizational DNA is quite possible. In fact, that is what we help companies do. For over 25 years we have been helping companies identify and narrow gaps in their DNA to improve strategy execution and performance.
