Know Your Culture

See the Culture You Have—And the One You Need

Culture shapes how your organization thinks, acts, and performs.
When it’s aligned, people thrive and strategy moves. When it’s not, progress stalls. Understanding your culture is the first step to leading meaningful change.

“Culture is the glue that holds an organization together”
— Henry Mintzberg

Organizational culture is the invisible force that shapes how work gets done. It influences how decisions are made, how people collaborate, and how change is embraced—or resisted. A strong, aligned culture fuels engagement, innovation, and performance. A misaligned or unclear culture creates friction, confusion, and missed opportunity. By assessing your current culture, you gain the insight needed to lead more intentionally, align your team, and build the kind of environment where people and strategy can thrive.

Why Culture Matters

A culture assessment helps leaders understand the underlying values, norms, and behaviors that shape how work gets done inside their organization.It goes beyond surface-level engagement surveys to uncover the shared beliefs and assumptions that drive decision-making, collaboration, and performance.

Know Your Culture

At Leader Blueprints, we use the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI)—a proven, research-backed tool that measures your current and preferred culture. The assessment gives you a clear picture of where your culture stands today—and where your people want it to go.

How It Works

  1. Survey Distribution
    Employees complete a brief, confidential survey that asks them to assess the current and ideal culture across six key areas, such as leadership style, team dynamics, and success metrics.

  2. Data Collection & Analysis
    We compile and analyze the results to reveal dominant cultural themes, alignment or disconnects across levels, and gaps between the current and preferred culture.

  3. Culture Map & Debrief
    You receive a visual “culture map” showing where your organization is now—and where your people want it to be. We walk you through the findings, highlighting risks, opportunities, and leadership implications.

  4. Action Planning
    With clarity on your cultural landscape, we help you prioritize the shifts needed to align culture with strategy, values, and performance goals..
