The Science
Cultural Dynamics assessments are implemented within a unique framework called a
Cultural Blueprint. The model is based on the most common values found across enterprises in a range of large industries. We then define these values as measurable characteristics, traits, attitudes and behaviors. These include:
-
- Accountability / Responsibility
- Caring / Compassion
- Customer Focus
- Diversity / Inclusion
- Excellence / Quality
- Innovation
- Integrity
- Respect for Others
- Sustainability / Environmental
- Teamwork / Collaboration
This Blueprint is divided into three tiers, and a Cultural Dynamics assessment can be targeted at specific tiers in any combination.
Cultural Foundation
This layer collects data which predicts a candidate’s ability to first learn and adapt to your existing culture.
Cultural Alignment
The data from this layer predicts a candidate’s ability to align with and drive your company’s existing culture forward.
Cultural Contribution
This layer collects data which predicts a candidate’s ability to ultimately shape and/or create an expanded culture that supports your company’s strategic vision.
The combined results of an assessment provide validated information which is effective for both the initial candidate screening and hiring decisions, and the longer-term employee growth and promotion life-cycle.
The specific assessments that comprise the tiers of the Blueprint will be aligned with your organization’s value structure and rigorously tested for Predictive Validity and Fairness.
They can be adapted for either broad applicability across job classes or targeted to specific roles as appropriate.
