Values Profile

Everyone knows that culture eats strategy for breakfast, and execution for lunch. But despite many organisations recognising the importance of culture and values the complexity of organisational culture means that most companies struggle to effect a positive cultural transformation. Core values are the catalyst behind the behaviours that define your organisastion.

By deeply understanding the evolution and profound significance of these core values, you have the power to spark a sustainable transformation of attitudes, paving the path towards a cultural revolution that yields unparalleled commercial success.

Promotion, including at a senior level, is often biased towards technical competency and sector expertise. However, ability and track record only determine part of a leader’s suitability for a role. The Complete Values Profile has been used widely in recruitment and succession planning to successfully determine how leaders are likely to lead and what kind of impact they will have.

By determining a leader’s cultural fit, ability to accelerate growth and potential to drive a team forward, we can help futureproof the success of a leader and support commercial progress.

During the recruitment process, the Complete Values Profile assessment can provide a valuable insight into a candidate’s potential cultural fit and the risk of culture clashes.

This can help avoid costly recruitment mistakes, particularly at senior levels. The outputs of the assessment can also be used, for successful candidates, to guide personal development and help ensure optimum performance when they do join your organisation.

Differences in dominant values can reveal why an organisation fails, and this is often due to culture clashes. This is particularly evident in mergers and acquisitions, where expected synergies and economies of scale may not materialise due to cultural differences.

Understanding values helps transform culture, with evidence showing its impact on commercial success. Cultural development delivers tangible results and can improve engagement scores, validating culture’s positive impact on performance.
