About
Organisations that create a winning culture are 4 to 5 times more likely to be top performers Top performers, as measured by profitability, growth, and shareholder return, outperform 90% of peers Everybody has a perspective on their organisation’s culture but few have an objective and transparent method to measure it UPvantage’s DNA Index allows you to measure the causal elements of your organisation’s culture on a 0 to 100 scale – this explains a company’s ability to deliver a winning culture and, subsequently, high performance The DNA Index uses a research-based, statistically validated structured questionnaire to collect data from an organisation across multiple dimensions It uses pattern-recognition technology based on a database of 100+ rapid performance improvements to pinpoint gaps and improvement opportunities An organisation’s culture consists of 7 hierarchical elements or outcomes. The outcomes are driven by 40 underlying causal “practices and behaviours”. Practices and behaviours are what you see leaders, middle-management and frontlines doing on a day-to-day-basis. The DNA Index connects causal “practices and behaviours” to “outcomes” The DNA Index identifies data-driven specific improvements for your organisational’ s cultural elements, it identifies the drivers are that are working and not working and can be really specific and fact-based about potential improvements Among its many features is a dashboard that allows you to assess how your company’s culture compares to industry best practice benchmarks including: 1.
