Business culture has long been recognized as an important differentiating and positioning tool in personnel management, with repercussions in the field of corporate strategy. However, measuring the soft skills involved in order to compare what is there with what is needed poses a real challenge. Odgers Berndtson has developed a system that allows an objective comparison between the business culture you potentially want and the business culture you actually have: Business Culture Review®.
Business Culture Review® uses a holistic method rather than focussing on individuals. A detailed profile of strengths and weaknesses shows you where your business culture values are being realised and which critical areas need your attention.
Business Culture Review® forges the international experience collected in a leading HR consultancy such as Odgers Berndtson into an instrument that provides objective, transferable findings regarding business culture, regardless of the line of business, company size and location. The results of Business Culture Review® can, where necessary, be translated directly into concrete measures. An additional asset is the outside perspective on your management culture, preferable to any internal solution thanks to the benefit of emotional distance.
Business Culture Review® is applied successfully by Odgers Berndtson worldwide. The clients range from mid-size enterprises to major corporations.
Business Culture Review® determines whether there are discrepancies between the business culture you aim for and the one you actually live in your company.
Business Culture Review® analyses and evaluates in plain language. Objectively, with the emotional distance of an outside perspective and plausible results that can lead straight to changes.
Business Culture Review® does not deal with the management methods of individual top decision makers, but looks instead at the whole of your business culture, including your company’s core parameters for success.
Business Culture Review® is a system of strategic importance that will become more and more indispensable for business leadership as the rate of change increases.
Business Culture Review® incorporates the top-notch international experience of Odgers Berndtson’s partners and consultants. Its systematic approach and objectivity sets standards, independently of people, lines of business, locations or company size.
