INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE ASSESSMENT
These six categories of questions ask you to identify the way you experience your organization right NOW, and, separately, the way you think it should be in the FUTURE if it is to achieve its highest aspirations. In the survey, “the organization” refers to the organization managed by your boss (or the organization in which you manage, or the organization in which you are working).
Please rate each of the statements by dividing 100 points in each of the six categories between alternatives A, B, C, and D depending on how similar the description is to your firm. (100 would indicate very similar and 0 would indicate not at all similar). The total points for each of the six categories (comprised of four alternatives each) must equal 100. The assessment uses this method to better demonstrate how moving toward one profile also requires moving away from its opposite. That is, it demonstrates the inherent tradeoffs of any approach to culture change.
First rate how you perceive the organization to be at the present time in the NOW column. Second, rate the organization again in the FUTURE column depending on how you think your organization must be if it is to accomplish its highest objectives and achieve spectacular success.
You may divide the 100 points in any way among the four alternatives in each question. Some alternatives may get zero points, for example. Remember that the total must equal 100.
