The Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI - © 1999 Kim S. Cameron) leads to a valuable, valid and visual profile for current and preferred organizational culture, based on the renowned Competing Values Framework. The online OCAI takes about 15 minutes and is a fast way to check the culture and to change and develop what's needed.
Enterprise Account for organizations with multiple culture profiles:
- Get one collective profile of current and preferred culture of all respondents.
- Order additional profiles to compare departments, locations, levels, or other criteria of your choice.
- With separate profiles for the six culture aspects.
- Explained in a results report.
- Download the Do-it-yourself OCAI Work Kits to prepare and lead the culture change process.
- Include everyone as prices depend on the number of profiles ordered, not respondents
- Price starts at $1691 or € 1351 (based on 1 collective profile plus 2 sub-profiles)
- Available in 19 languages.
Make sure you have read the Enterprise manual before proceeding.
The culture profile shows what your current culture is like - and where people want to go. Is there a big gap between current and preferred culture? Is your culture congruent? The culture profile supports a focused dialogue and builds awareness of values, daily behaviors, and necessary changes. Take a look at the OCAI Culture Workshop to see how you could work with your OCAI culture profile.
Why would you invest in organizational culture? Culture influences organizational performance, innovation, agility, engagement, and competitiveness. Research shows that a toxic culture decreases productivity with 40%, while an effective culture increases productivity with 20%, and a positive culture even with 30-40%

OCAI Enterprise facts
Please download the OCAI Enterprise product sheet from the section Downloads > Documents. OCAI Enterprise gives you a collective profile, plus sub-profiles according to the criteria of your choice: departments, levels, locations, functions, tenure? If you need just one profile for your population, you can use the Pro assessment. If your organization counts 40 associates or less, OCAI Pro could be a better option.
The OCAI is available in 19 different languages: English, Dutch, German, Danish, Finnish, Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, Spanish, French, Greek, Croatian, Polish, Turkish, Arabic, South-American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, and Korean. Please note that the results report is always in English.
Best suited for:
Leaders and associates of medium-sized to very large organizations
Consultants that guide culture change with client organizations
Note for students: consider using multiple OCAI Pro assessments for thesis and research projects, instead of the OCAI Enterprise assessment.

Price Table OCAI Enterprise
The price of OCAI Enterprise depends on the number of sub-profiles you order, not on the number of participants. Prices are in US dollars or Euros, depending on your location.
The price also depends on whether you use the OCAI inside the organization where you work or outside your organization as a consultant. Based on our license from Professor Cameron (the OCAI copyright owner) we are required to charge 10% extra to consultants who use the OCAI commercially.
If you need an official quote, please contact us. We accept payments with Amex, MasterCard, Visa, or PayPal. OCAI Enterprise is paid in advance.
OCAI Enterprise starts at 597 USD for the organization's collective profile and the price for sub-profiles will be added.
For instance: one collective organization culture profile and two sub-profiles for Department A and Department B.
The price is 597 USD plus 2 times 547 USD for the sub-profiles = 1691 USD
"Department" is one category, but in this example there are two answer options, hence 2 sub-profiles. When you ask participants to select their department and there are 7 departments, then you order 7 sub-profiles. Preferably, you have 20 or more potential participants per sub-profile. The more sub-profiles you order, the less you pay per piece.
The price table below shows the prices for use inside your organization. If you are a consultant using the OCAI with a client organization you are charged an additional 10% for commercial use of this intellectual property.
# of sub profiles ordered | Price USD | Price EUR |
---|---|---|
2-5 | 547 | 427 |
6-10 | 497 | 397 |
11-20 | 447 | 347 |
21-40 | 397 | 297 |
41-70 | 347 | 247 |
You can also use the sub-profile bot at the bottom right to get the right price for organizations or contact us. Consultants please add 10% as explained. Please contact us if you need more than 20 sub-profiles, or if your sub-groups are rather small.
