change management business strategy data analysis organizational behaviourOrganizational culture ranks high on why employers choose to stay with or leave an organization for the long term. It impacts employee engagement and productivity as well as your organization's reputation. Ensuring your organizational culture is aligned with your organizational vision and mission is key to your company's success.
Utilizing the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), student teams will gather data to assess six key dimensions of your organizational culture as it exists today and what your team would like it to look like five years from now. Students will use this data, along with information gathered about your mission and vision from an interview with your leadership team, to make recommendations on some tactical approaches you can make to shift your organizational culture in the direction you'd like it to go.
Students will provide to your organization:
- A summary of the OCAI results for your organization
- An executive summary of the recommendations of the team
- A presentation to members of your leadership team about the recommendations where they can answer any questions you may have
