CulturalInsights – an analytical tool for organizational culture

ConnectingCultures’ CulturalInsights is an analytical tool designed for organizations seeking a data-driven and in-depth understanding of their internal culture. The tool uncovers both the formal and informal culture, including values, behavioral patterns, and norms that shape collaboration and well-being in the workplace.

OUTPUT:

A comprehensive cultural analysis that identifies the organization’s strengths and challenges. The report can serve as a foundation for leadership development, collaboration, well-being, and the implementation of culture-changing initiatives.

GOAL:

To provide a clear picture of how the culture is experienced by employees, which norms and practices support or hinder collaboration and engagement, and where there is potential for development. The analysis also shows how the culture impacts core tasks and strategic goals.

REPORTING AND CO-CREATION:

The report presents key findings and, if desired, practical recommendations. We often recommend a co-creation process with leadership or HR to translate insights into concrete actions, combining our analytical expertise with your knowledge of the organization.

Additional Areas of Analysis

We can also examine employees’ experience of:

Perceived Work Environment
How do employees describe the atmosphere at the workplace (e.g., safe, pressured, busy, open)?

●

Trust in Leadership
Do employees feel they can rely on their leaders—and are they being heard?

●

Communication in Practice
Do employees experience information flowing freely and openly, or is there silence, rumors, or unclear messages?

●

Recognition and Feedback
Do employees feel that their efforts are seen and appreciated?

●

Influence and Participation
Do employees have a real opportunity to impact decisions and ways of working?

●

Relationships Among Colleagues
Is there collaboration and community, or is it characterized by competition and silo thinking?

●

Norms for (Informal) Behavior
What “just isn’t done” here? (e.g., asking questions, taking breaks, saying no)

●

Risk-Taking
Is there a learning culture where mistakes are used constructively, or is there blame and fear?

●

Work Pressure and Work-Life Balance
Do employees feel there is balance, or is there constant busyness and stress?

●

Motivation and Job Satisfaction
What drives employees—and do they feel their work is meaningful?

●

Informal Power Structures
Are there individuals or groups who effectively make decisions without it being official?

●

Onboarding of New Employees
How is starting in the organization experienced—are new hires included or left to fend for themselves?

●

Perception of Internal Fairness
Do employees feel that resources, rewards, and responsibilities are distributed fairly?

●

Conflict Management
Are disagreements taken seriously and resolved, or ignored and suppressed?

●

Readiness for Change and Sense of Security
How do employees respond to changes? Is there fear or engagement?

Thank you, Signe so much for an insightful and entertaining talk. It was very inspiring and I'm sure we will collaborate more in the future - we still have a lot to learn when it comes to collaborating across cultures.
