A cultural diagnostic is a comprehensive assessment of an organisation's culture. It's a snapshot of the company's personality, revealing its values, beliefs, and behaviours. By understanding its culture, businesses can identify strengths, weaknesses, and areas for improvement.

Qualitative & quantitative cultural assessment
FutureYou leverage the CLA (Cultural Leadership Assessment) tool to evaluate the gap between a company’s current and desired culture.
The CLA is a survey-based assessment that is typically administered to employees at all levels of the organisation. The survey questions cover a wide range of topics, including:
Leadership: How effective is the leadership team in setting a clear direction and inspiring employees?
Teamwork: How well do employees collaborate and work together towards common goals?
Communication: How open and transparent is communication within the organisation?
Innovation: How supportive is the organisation of new ideas and innovation?
Employee Engagement: How satisfied and engaged are employees in their work?
Once the survey data is collected, it is analysed and the results compared to the organisation's desired culture, as defined by its mission, vision, and values.
This process will:
Provide a comprehensive assessment of organisational culture
Identify strengths and weaknesses
Identify the gap between current and desired culture
Provide data-driven insights for decision-making
Be used to track progress over time
