Culture Capital is the new frontier of competitive advantage.
What’s the level of health of your organization’s culture?

We assist leaders and organizations with a method of measuring the level of health of the company culture and articulating authentic core values. We use customized assessments and tools, which provide organizations with a comprehensive cultural diagnostic and roadmap for improved performance and results. We have helped multiple progressive organizations re-engineer their culture for greater future success, including BlueShore Financial, Port Metro Vancouver, PepsiCo, Urban Systems Limited and many more.

Culture & Values Assessments 

“We can categorically state that organisations with high levels of cultural alignment will have superior levels of financial performance.” – Richard Barrett, The Barrett Values Centre

Culture and values have typically been considered intangible and therefore tricky to measure and quantify. As a result, the accountability for the state of health of an organization’s culture has not typically been part of a leader’s scorecard or effectively used as a key performance indicator. 

That has all changed! 

At Thinking Partners Inc., we are certified to deliver culture assessments developed by the Barrett Values Centre. These powerful assessment tools have been used by over 6,000 organizations globally to measure and better understand their cultures, thereby building resiliency and improving overall performance. See below for more information about the reports currently available.

Personal Values Assessment (PVA)

Discover valuable insights into why you do what you do, and how this connects to your personal values so you can make empowered decisions moving forward.

To amplify the results, increase self-awareness and uncover new insights that can be turned into powerful actions, we offer a debrief of a PVA for coaching clients. This can be followed by one-on-one coaching, if desired.

“As a result of doing a culture and values assessment, I am more accountable to our team and it opened my eyes to areas where I had been making assumptions. Our team is now able to bring more of themselves to their work – which is a big thing! On a personal level, this has helped me as a leader because I know what people want more of from me. I don’t know how we would have discovered this information if we hadn’t gone through the process of this assessment and coaching around the results.”
