CULTURE ASSESSMENT
From silent blockers to untapped enablers, our comprehensive culture audit pinpoints the gaps that are costing growth, trust, and talent.
The Assessment
Your roadmap for transformation
Culture Consultancy Organisation Culture Assessment™ is our award-winning diagnostic tool – recognised by the CIPD and Business Culture Awards and built on over 15 years of experience helping organisations shift culture for performance and impact.
Combining contemporary business and HR insight with leading organisational psychology, it draws on models like Schein’s three levels of culture, Johnson & Scholes’ cultural web, and Hatch’s dynamics.
The assessment blends employee surveys, existing data analysis, listening sessions, and senior leadership input to deliver a clear, actionable view of your current culture.
The Metrics
Insight across 20 key culture metrics
Assesses culture through four quadrants and 20 attributes:
1. Leadership – Strategic direction, leadership team alignment, delivery plans, and the tone set from the top.
2. Management – Governance, manager accountability, effectiveness of systems and processes, and people management.
3. People – Employee engagement, communication, development, inclusion, collaboration, and the working environment.
4. External – Customer perception, employer brand, ESG reputation, and relationships with partners and suppliers.
The Dashboard
Benchmark & measure progress
As we’re working with you on your culture change programme, we work with you to develop a Culture Dashboard.
The dashboard is made up of a combination of people, culture and business measures of success for tracking and measuring the culture
shift and alignment journey that your people are undertaking.
It provides clarity and visibility to the progress and impact that the new culture is having – it also easily highlights areas of the business that
may need more immediate attention to get them back on track.

Frequently asked questions
Our Culture Assessment™ combines quantitative data, employee listening, and leadership insight to create a clear picture of your current culture. Unlike generic surveys, it examines 20 attributes across leadership, management, people, and external perception highlighting both enablers and blockers of performance. It’s recognised by the CIPD and Business Culture Awards for its depth and rigour, giving you ongoing measurement you can trust.
The framework breaks results down by geography, function, or business unit – pinpointing where culture is aligned and where it diverges. This lets you see which teams or locations are thriving, which are struggling, and how micro-cultures are shaping performance. It means you can focus your energy where it matters most, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all initiatives.
Clients walk away with:
– A clear view of the strengths in their culture that should be reinforced
– Identification of hidden risks and underperforming areas
– Practical opportunities to boost productivity, engagement, and innovation
– A baseline measure to track culture change over time
Ultimately, it provides the insight you need to design a culture that drives strategy and accelerates performance.
The Culture Assessment™ is our award-winning diagnostic tool for understanding how culture is enabling – or holding back – your business. Culture isn’t just “how things are done”; it directly impacts strategy delivery, customer experience, retention, and growth. Without measuring it, you’re making assumptions. With it, you get a data-driven foundation for purposeful, high-performance culture change.
