Expert Organizational Culture Assessment Services

The OCAI, or Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument, is a survey tool often used to compare current and preferred culture types. ADI’s Organizational Culture Assessment Services take a behavioral science approach, examining the observable behaviors, leadership practices, systems, and consequences that shape culture. The goal is not only to categorize culture, but to identify what must change to improve performance.

A culture assessment typically evaluates employee perceptions, leadership behavior, communication patterns, accountability practices, reinforcement systems, engagement drivers, and barriers to desired performance. ADI also examines how incentives, processes, and metrics may unintentionally encourage or discourage key behaviors. This creates a practical picture of what sustains the current culture and what must shift.

ADI translates findings into coaching action plans and behavioral roadmaps. Instead of delivering only survey scores, ADI identifies the root causes behind behavior patterns and recommends specific leadership actions, system adjustments, reinforcement strategies, and follow-up coaching. This helps organizations move from insight to measurable implementation.

Participation depends on the organization’s goals, but assessments often include executives, managers, supervisors, and frontline employees. Broad participation helps reveal how culture is experienced at different levels. ADI may also use upward feedback surveys, interviews, observations, and document reviews to create a complete view of leadership impact and system conditions.

Timing varies by organization size, scope, locations, and assessment methods. A focused survey may move quickly, while a broader assessment involving interviews, observations, and document review requires more planning. ADI structures the process to gather meaningful data efficiently and then converts findings into clear priorities for improvement.
