The Organisation Culture Index or OCI

Today organisations need to have vision of where they are heading. But vision on its own is not enough. The culture of the business must be aligned with this vision. Culture is the glue that holds everything together, and managing culture is one of the most important challenges for any leader, regardless of the size of the organisation.

The OCI examines how employees of an organisation experience its culture. The tool asks people to identify the behavioural expectations they experience in the organisation. These expectations are described in the form of 12 distinct patterns or styles (the same styles used in the LSI and the GSI).

The OCI has been used successfully in industry and government to help leaders and employees better understand the thinking and behavioural styles that are expected and reinforced in their organisations. Specifically, the OCI has been identified and used as a valuable tool for:

• Organisational change programs
• Measuring and assessing current culture
• Gauging readiness for change
• Creating a vision of the organisation’s cultural ideal
• Identifying forces likely to promote or impede cultural change
• Supporting strategic technological and structural change
• Supporting mergers, acquisitions and strategic alliances
• Evaluating the impact of organisational change efforts

The OCI is distinguished by its research base, its statistical reliability and validity, and the availability of research reports that support its use.
