Organizational assessment
Culture Heat Map
Before choosing a focused assessment, start here. The Culture Heat Map gives leaders a complete picture of organizational health across six dimensions — Empathy, Proximity, Purpose, People, Policy, and Performance. Results reveal your highest-leverage gaps and point you toward the right next steps.
What's included
Assessment pillars
Dimension 01 — Purpose
The Purpose pillar examines the distance between your stated organizational values and the lived experience of the people inside your organization. Most culture failures are not failures of intention -- they are failures of translation between what leadership says it believes and what the systems, policies, and daily behaviors of the organization demonstrate.
Dimension 02 — People
The People pillar is the most consequential and most neglected dimension of organizational culture. Real culture transformation happens at the leadership layer - in how managers handle conflict, give feedback, respond to dissent, distribute recognition, and treat the people who have the least institutional power. Belonging is a measurable organizational output produced or destroyed by managers, not executives.
Dimension 03 — Policy
The Policy pillar is where organizational values either get operationalized or exposed as aspirational language. Performance management systems that lack transparency create distrust. Promotion pathways that are informal, undocumented, or inconsistently applied become vehicles for bias regardless of leadership intent. Compensation structures that are opaque or inequitable send a daily message about what the organization values.
Dimension 04 — Performance
The Performance pillar examines whether your organization has built the measurement infrastructure and accountability systems to manage culture as a strategic asset. Culture is not self-sustaining. It requires data - specific, honest, and acted upon. Retention data, promotion equity data, pay gap data, and belonging scores are not HR metrics. They are leadership report cards.
Dimension 05 — Future Ready Culture
These 10 questions assess whether your organizational culture has been deliberately designed for three structural forces that have permanently reshaped every workplace: AI as a daily work tool, the permanence of hybrid and remote arrangements, and a four-generation workforce. These are not emerging trends. They are the conditions your people are already working inside.
