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.
Pro Account for teams or small organizations:
- Get one collective profile of current and preferred culture of all respondents.
- 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.
- Invite everyone and exclude no one at one price: $ 597 or € 497.

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%
