The Diagnosis

ORGANIZATIONAL ASSESSMENT

A rigorous 6-week organizational assessment. A clear picture and a credible roadmap.

Most culture problems are not visible from the top. Leaders feel the symptoms like friction, attrition, and disengagement but cannot locate the source. Surveys miss what matters. Workshops produce insights no one acts on. In The Diagnosis, we'll engage with your people, listen across levels, and map what is actually happening against all 8 organizational patterns, surfacing your culture risks and what is driving them. We'll deliver a shared langauge your leadership team can actually use and a roadmap that tells you exactly what to address first -- all within 6 weeks.

Culture is not a soft problem. It is a business problem with a measurable cost. The Diagnosis gives you the full picture so you can act on what actually matters.

WHAT THIS IS

A 6-week organizational assessment: interviews, focus groups, full report, and roadmap

The Diagnosis is a rigorous, structured assessment of your organizational patterns, your active culture risks, and what shifting would actually require. It is not a survey or just a workshop. You leave with a 15 to 20 page report and a credible roadmap your leadership team can act on. We use your existing data and listen to your people to build a full picture of what is actually happening.

WEEKS 1-2: Listen

Leadership intake interviews (3 to 5 people) and 2 to 3 cross-level focus groups. We are listening for which of the 8 organizational patterns are showing up, how strongly, and what is driving them.

WEEK 3: Synthesize

WEEK 4: Diagnostic Workshop

WEEK 5: Full Report

All patterns mapped against the Pattern Shift Wheel. Each scored by intensity: dormant, active, or entrenched. Active and compounding culture risks identified.

A 3-hour session with your leadership team. We present the Pattern Map, run the spectrum on your top 3 to 4 patterns together, and begin building shared language around what needs to shift.

A 15- to 20 page Culture Report delivered:

Executive summary
All 8 patterns assessed with signal strength
