Culture Impact.

CULTURE IMPACT is ndc's unique culture framework.  Our framework is designed to capture the strongest factors which impact strategic culture alignment. When assessing culture, we need to ensure culture is measured to understand​:

  • What is the culture like now​
  • What culture do we need for the future ​
  • What are the quick wins ​
  • What is the priority for longer term culture streams ​

Over 15 years we have worked on a number of cultural transformation projects and used a number of culture frameworks. We found that:

  • The frameworks were too complex, 
  • The client needed to attend training courses to understand the framework ​

We realised we could get to the same results in a simpler way.

We therefore created Culture Impact as a simple, pragmatic and understandable framework to culture measurement.​ These areas are informed by the research of Richard Barrett,  Dr Ian Macdonald and Carolyn Taylor and from our own experience of culture transformation projects.​

Culture Impact Framework.

CULTURE IMPACT identifies three critical areas for culture management.

1
The FOCUS AREA for the culture to support the business strategy:
Performance
Agility
Customer
2
The CULTURE LEVERS which support culture change:
Leadership
Collaboration
Alignment
People Management
Communication
3
The fundamental VALUES underpinning performance and behaviour:
Productivity
Relationship
Drive
Ownership
Learning
Clarity
Integrity
External Focus
Global Impact

Culture Impact is a flexible framework which  can incorporate other areas of focus. We realise each organisation is different and that there maybe other areas which the organisation may want to focus, such as 'Quality' or 'Risk'. Similarly there may  be other culture levers which could be included, for example, compliance, legal, finance management. Culture Impact is able to include additional culture levers which are relevant to your organisation.

Why Culture Impact?
