An assessment is the best way in which to understand what’s working (and what’s not) when it comes to your corporate culture, leadership practices and/or hybrid work strategy.
Is your organizational culture, leadership practices or hybrid work model good enough to withstand employee expectations? How about your customers or other stakeholders?
You’ve read the stats.
Employees not only want a transparent, collaborative, and caring corporate culture, but they want career advancement. And if they don’t get it, they’re more likely than ever to find an organization that provides it.
This puts you in quite a situation: do nothing, or do something.
Here’s how to do something about it.
A Way Forward
In order for you to evolve your organizational operating practices, it is imperative that you understand where you are at and what is required for an improved future state.
It is critical to further ascertain what was working and what needs to be done differently going forward be it with your leadership styles, business processes, work models, technology, collaboration practices, amongst a host of other criteria.
What are employees and leaders thinking, feeling and believing? What is the difference between what was, what is, and what should be?
All of these factors impact productivity, engagement, creativity and potentially customer satisfaction.
My highly customizable and tailored assessments can help you pinpoint a way forward.
A “full assessment” takes place over a 3-4-month cycle and all aspects of your operating practices are assessed.
The end result is an analysis report that details the current state, as well as a large number of short and long-term recommendations for change.
- A 3-4 month asynchronous exercise to assess your culture, leadership and hybrid work practices & where it could go.
- Three key actions within the assessment:
- 1:1 executive interviews
- Employee focus groups
- Enterprise-wide surveying
- End result? An executive analysis report chock full of where the culture lies in addition to recommendations on what to change over the short, medium, and long-term.
- Includes a kickoff meeting and final presentation.

The second type, “sprint assessment,” takes four to six weeks and focuses on a subset of operating practices. While not as exhaustive as the full assessment, the sprint assessment is ideal for those clients looking to assess particular components of the organization’s operating practices without assessing all aspects completely.
The approach is similar where there are focus groups and 1:1 interviews, but there are fewer sessions than the full assessment. A survey is optional.
The end result is an executive briefing document that highlights the strengths and opportunities of those specific operating practices that were assessed.

Past clients of both types of assessments include the Government of Canada, ICBC, BC Translink, BCLC, Vancouver Airport Authority, TD Bank and LCBO
