Organizational Values Profiler

Applications of the Organisational Values Profiler span organizational transformation, leadership alignment, and integration during M&A processes.  It focuses on deep cultural dynamics and strategic reconciliation rather than just employee engagement alone.   This makes the Organisational Values Profiler a critical tool for organizations navigating complexity and seeking sustainable growth.

What is the Organizational Values Profiler?

The Organizational Values Profiler (OVP) is a web-based, multi-functional instrument that enables respondents to review and examine the degree to which opposite demands are reconciled. The OVP quantifies organizational performance as the result to which 6 conflicting areas are reconciled. It could also identify the starting position (CURRENT) and preference (IDEAL) of the organizational cultural orientations, as perceived by respondents.

What is the purpose?

Diagnoses and reconciles organizational culture differences in transformation, strategic changes, and globalization.

• Approach: Culture-neutral model leveraging a 12-segment framework (based on task/strategy, roles, power, and adaptability).
• Flexibility: Avoids stereotypes; integrates strengths across all quadrants (Family, Incubator, Guided Missile, Eiffel Tower).

The OVP measures organizational performance by assessing reconciliation of six key dilemmas (e.g., people vs. task, short vs. long term). It helps leaders or teams identify perceptions of effectiveness, efficiency, loyalty, learning, leadership, and values, with additional areas customizable for client needs.

When it should be used?

The OVP can be used within a group or organization internally, or with two groups involved in an integration process, allowing the leaders and/or teams to address key identified tensions and prioritize distribution of time and resources. Preferred areas of application are mergers/acquisitions, strategic change, creating a culture of innovation and risk management. The OVP can also be used over time to show the development of the organization’s culture towards the desired state.

What are the core benefits?

Unlike other corporate culture diagnostic tools, the OVP goes beyond simple diagnosis and serves the basis for the reconciliation of the key tensions. The main benefits are:

• it maximizes participation of managers and leaders by connecting their view points and problems to the wider organization
• it provides a rigorous assessment of key issues rather than assumed needs
• it offers a road map for future action
• it secures engagement with organization/conference/workshop participants.
• Validation Process: Combines qualitative and quantitative methods for reliability.
• Insights: Links cultural health to performance metrics and KPIs.
