Organizational Culture Diagnosis and Consulting
Benefits and features
Employee attitudes and behaviors can derail the best laid plans. That's why any organization — especially one involved in a change initiative or a merger — must address these people issues.
LIMRA can help. Our Organizational Culture Diagnosis and Consulting process gives you insight into your work culture, helping you improve organizational effectiveness, achieve strategic objectives, and attain meaningful, sustainable changes. You'll have a deeper understanding of where you are today, where you want to go, and how to get there.
After reviewing and clarifying your unique strategic objectives, the Organizational Culture Diagnosis and Consulting process leads you through seven key steps that help you
- Define your desired organizational culture, the culture you need to succeed
- Understand your current work culture(s)
- Analyze key gaps between your current and desired cultures — or between the cultures of merging organizations
- Develop action plans to close these gaps
- Prioritize and implement follow-up actions, including ways managers can encourage and reward behavior consistent with your desired culture
- Communicate plans to your staff and create buy-in
- Monitor progress as you close the gaps and build your new culture
This process can help you whenever you need to understand your existing or desired culture. Combining it with a focused consulting process can help you implement
- Mergers and acquisitions
- Major reorganizations
- Strategic initiatives
- Demutualization
- Change initiatives
- New leadership
- New distribution channels
- Field consolidations
CultureFit, LIMRA's Internet-based culture analysis tool, is central to the consulting process. Your management team uses CultureFit to define a work culture that will enable your organization to achieve its strategic goals. You'll decide what really matters, prioritizing key culture elements such as innovativeness, professionalism, customer orientation, and achievement orientation. Your employees use CultureFit, too, sorting the deck of "culture cards" to describe their current work environment. LIMRA consultants bring the information together, helping you explore the differences, understand what's involved in culture change, and utilize the pivotal roles of leaders and managers to create change.
