Testimonials
"It's sophisticated in its simplicity... everyone 'gets it' - from an inexperienced new employee to a seasoned CEO. It is great to find a tool that makes an explicit connection between human behavior and organizational performance."
Karen Schaefer
"I've used other surveys in the past and they did not offer the ease of use or the research behind the product that Denison has."
Thomas Gannon, SPHR
Senior Vice President, Human Resources & Communications, United Band & Trust
"Denison was our 'AHA!' moment. It was a way to measure and track all of the issues that heretofore had always been viewed as soft, nebulous, or ambiguous."
Dan Champney

"The survey gave us real-world information that showed us where we were -- a baseline -- and provided us with useful insights about what we needed to do. In addition, we were able to track the effects of our cultural-improvement strategy with a follow-up survey."
Gary Riggs
Vice President of Human Resources & Information Technology, Hitachi
"I cannot think of a time when I have received better client service in over 30 years of consulting..."

Opus Libra Coaching
"The best part of this process was using the results to demonstrate that a focused, intensive change effort has brought our client's staid, insular culture to an entirely different place. They are becoming truly customer-focused; and have made many changes to increase empowerment, engagement, skill development and organizational flexibility. They went from the 'donut of doom' to all color with ratings above the 75th percentile in every category!"

"Your Client Managers always bend over backwards to make sure that we are successful...even when we're being divas! The tools speak for themselves but the people make the experience a pure treat!"

Partner, GOTHAMculture
"We have used all of the instruments numerous times. I highly recommend it. It was great for us as a management team focusing on where we needed to focus our business. At the same time, we got personal feedback with the 360 on our own things that we could work on. As you are moving the business forward, it is a 'hidden team building' exercise. It’s about everybody joining hands and moving the business forward."
Dan Caspersen
Vice President, Target Corporation
"The Denison Organizational Culture Survey (DOCS), a diagnostic tool that hundreds of organizations have relied on to enhance their bottom-line performance, was used to identify organizational strengths and areas for improvement... 'As an organization focused on research, NCI was impressed with the Denison approach because it has a solid, research-based foundation."

"X-Rite, mired in the technology culture that once made it great, recognized that it had to move in a new direction, despite change resistance. The result: Gains in performance and productivity, and employees started to like coming to work. ...But what, exactly, do you work on to change a company's culture? Should you focus on strategy? Build teams? Empower people? Introduce tools and processes? Restructure? In any organization, the possibilities are many; the difficult part is deciding which interventions are likely to have the most impact. The answer are different for every organization. ...[X-Rite] learned of the Denison Organizational Culture Survey, a tool that could enable X-Rite to set priorities for culture change. ...[X-Rite] decided to use the Denison Organizational Culture Survey to get a baseline measure of X-Rite's culture and compare it with those of successful organizations. ...The significant progress toward culture transformation at X-Rite was mirrored by improvements in profitability: Net sales were up by 28 percent, and earnings per share were 200 percent higher."
