The success of any company depends in part on the degree of match between individuals and the culture of the organisation. Organisational culture is the set of operating principles that determine how people behave within the context of the company. Underlying the observable behaviors of people are the beliefs, values, and assumptions that dictate their actions.

Some organisational cultures can be very counterproductive for business effectiveness and profits, as well as for the ability to attract and retain the most suitable employees.

Understanding one’s own organisational culture and the impact of that culture on the motivation and actions of others, be they customers, suppliers or employees, is essential for effective business interactions.

The PRISM Organisational Culture Inventory is designed provide businesses with insights into the ways in which they go about their day-to-day operations and thus enable them to achieve a better understanding of the nature and likely impact of their working culture.

• What is the extent to which your organisation is willing to try out new ideas, encourage creativity and innovation and provide the flexibility and freedom necessary for employees to generate radical and original ways of solving problems and enhancing the business.

• What is the extent to which your organisation is outgoing, dynamic, positive and persuasive, and the ease with which it establishes good rapport with those both inside and outside the business.

• What is the extent to which your organisation is seen as a caring and accommodating employer who values people and has their welfare at heart
and many more such attributes.

PRISM Organisational Culture helps to illuminate attitudes and values, and provide a springboard to greater effectiveness. So whether you are a new start up looking at setting a tone for your business or a mid or large size company looking at redefining your image, this is the right tool for you.
