ORGANISATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND CORPORATE CULTURE AUDITS
Why work with Culture?
Why do organisations invest in organisational culture? Culture influences organisational performance, innovation, agility, engagement, recruitment and retention, and competitiveness.
Research found that an effective culture can account for 20% to 30% of the differential in corporate performance when compared with “culturally unremarkable” competitors. Research further showed that a positive corporate climate, positive relationships, communication, and positive meaning lead to “positive deviance” or high performance. However, the contrary findings indicated that an estimated 40% loss of productivity per year were incurred when workers experience a toxic organisational culture. Thus, a toxic organisational culture damages productivity, while an effective organisational culture boosts productivity with 30% to 40%. Culture is also often the reason why 70% of all mergers, acquisitions and organisational change projects fail. Thus, culture is not as “soft” as prejudice would have it. It produces hard results.
The Organisational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) is a validated tool for assessing organisational culture. The OCAI survey is based on the Competing Values Framework and one of the most used and useful frameworks used by over 10,000 companies in 30 years. It is well-researched and validated, but also compact with six aspects that reliably represent an organisation’s culture. It’s a quick culture survey that can be done in 15-20 minutes online.
The OCAI provides a validated, visual, and quantitative profile of current and preferred culture. It’s a very insightful map for the journey toward the best possible future culture. The OCAI helps leaders, managers, organisation development consultants, change facilitators, and HR professionals to assess the culture and engage in organisational culture change.

CORPORATE CULTURE AUDIT
OCAI TOOL
If you are looking to successfully implement a new strategy, system, technology or change management process, a corporate culture audit will provide you with invaluable insights and tools to do so.
Additionally, culture has to be created and worked on all the time, just like any other metric of agile success.
At SydSen, we believe that a healthy and consistent culture is the most important multiplier of long term growth and protects companies better in difficult times.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
The RoleFit Employee Engagement Survey (EES) is an online, effective measure of how engaged (or disengaged) your staff members are. Based on local research from across different industries the EES is your early warning system to identify and intervene when talented people become disengaged.
Quick & focused
EES results are validated against a scientifically sound, well researched model of talent engagement that reflects the realities of the South African working environment.
Action-orientated
Unlike conventional surveys, the EES provides you with statistically validated action steps that will have the greatest impact in talent engagement if acted upon.
Beautiful Reporting
The EES report is easy-to-understand and extremely user-friendly. You don’t have to have a degree in statistics to understand the results that matter most to you!
Local Support
The EES is 100% locally developed and owned. We are able to support you on-site and can modify the system to our requirements.
ROLEFIT 360° REVIEW SYSTEM
Our Rolefit 360° Review System is an online tool used to effectively measure performance and support development through enhancing self awareness. It is based on how staffmembers are perceived by those with whom they work most closely. This feedback tool is designed for quick and easy administration.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
SydSen, in conjunction with internationally acclaimed experts from a variety of industries, developed the change management programme, Altitude, which takes delegates through a journey based on the aviation industry.
The analogy between the discipline and constant improvements made in the aviation industry is used to encourage delegates to transform themselves – from passengers to pilots.
Many concepts such as situational analysis, planning, implementation, measuring, communication and situational leadership and more are covered.
ALTITUDE – APPLICATION OF THE BUSINESS MODEL CANVAS
SydSen utilises the Altitude programme as a change management enabler. The Business Model Canvas (Alexander Osterwalder – Strategyzer) is also pragmatically applied to specific scenarios. Strategy sessions are designed to deliver action plans for rapid implementation.

LEADERSHIP COACHING
As can be seen by the numerous services and products we offer to facilitate true organisational development, leadership is a complex and daunting task that can benefit from a little help from subject matter experts. And the benefits are clear:
A global survey of coaching clients by PWC and the Association Resource Center concluded that the mean ROI for companies investing in coaching was seven times that of the initial investment. A quarter of the companies in the survey reported an ROI of 10 to 49 times the investment made.
