Denison Advantage Overview

Denison Consulting's™ research-based model and tools are designed to improve the performance of organizations by improving their corporate culture and leadership. At our core is a set of diagnostic surveys, rooted in our research linking organizational culture and leadership to business performance. This diagnostic technology is supported by a world-class electronic delivery system and a global consulting network designed to give client organizations the choices that they need to be successful.

Denison Consulting provides research-based organizational culture and leadership development surveys that link to bottom line performance metrics. The Denison Organizational Culture Survey and Denison Leadership Development Survey were developed by Daniel R. Denison, Ph.D. and William S. Neale, M.A., M.L.I.R. The surveys and model are based on over 20 years of research by Dr. Denison on the link between organization culture and bottom-line performance measures such as ROI, ROA, Sales Growth, Quality and Employee Satisfaction. The Denison Model, made up of four culture traits, Mission, Consistency, Involvement, and Adaptability, serve as the basis for the Denison Organizational Culture Survey and the Denison Leadership Development Survey. Our world class online delivery systems allow for quick survey turnaround times and easy monitoring. Unlike traditional employee satisfaction / engagement assessments, corporate culture surveys, or climate surveys, the Denison Organizational Culture Survey looks at the culture of an organization as a whole and ties culture to bottom-line performance measures. Repeated use of the Denison Organizational Culture Survey provides a measure of the organization’s progress toward achieving a high-performance culture with optimum overall performance. The Denison Leadership Development Survey is a 360 degree assessment designed to benchmark an individual’s leadership and management skills with leaders in other organizations. This assessment allows leaders to link leadership development and organizational culture to tangible bottom-line performance measures. Together, these research-based, user-friendly surveys allow organizations to align culture and leadership, diagnose specific areas of strength and weakness, and build accountability into the development process – all helping you reach your goal of a high-performing organization.
