The leadership gap
You measure revenue, margins and NPS. Do you measure what drives the people who deliver all of it?
Fewer than 25% of leaders know which values and mindsets actually steer their organisation. The gap between what strategy asks for and what culture delivers has a price. The question is not whether the gap exists, but how large it is for you.
0%
of all turnover is leadership-driven. Poor leadership costs a further 7–15% of revenue.

Organisations working with culture as data
Three options
You have three options. Two cost more than you think.
Keep leading on assumptions
Carry on steering culture from what you believe drives people. Cheapest today, most expensive over time.
Wait and see
Put it off until the next engagement survey. The gap grows quietly, and you notice it first when a good leader leaves.
Measure what actually drives
Map the values and mindsets behind decisions. Then you know where the gap is, what it costs, and where change should start.
Case: Lede
+0%
more focus on Innovation
How a Norwegian grid operator changed its leadership culture in a year.
Lede had three values on paper: Responsible, Capable, Innovative. The first assessment showed what actually drove the leadership and employee culture. Innovative, which the new strategy was built on, scored lowest at 20%.
A year later, the same assessment showed the leadership culture had strengthened its focus on Innovative by 61%.
Change starts with insight into what actually drives people. From there it's easier to see what's missing, and build it.
Change is hard enough. Leading without knowing what actually drives your people is almost impossible.
0%
of the value in change plans is lost between idea and execution.

The method behind it
Culture is the sum of the values that matter most to people.
We don't map what you think about your culture. We map what matters most to you, and behind that sit the values. That surfaces the values that matter most to you and your team, and a picture of what drives you in behaviour, decisions and relationships day to day.
Your values, combined at team level, show:
- Where the team's energy actually comes from
- What the strategy asks of the organisation, and how much of it you have
- Where the culture gap is, and where change should start
Insight into values and mindsets turns strategy and change into drivers you can work with, tailored to the team culture you have and the strategy you need to deliver.
In this mini version you'll see your mindset profile and value base from a selection. It doesn't give you the full picture, but it gives you examples of what drives you.
The foundation
100
defined values
7
mindsets
Culture Intelligence is built on 100 precisely defined values, tied to 7 mindsets. Every organisation has a culture that can be identified and understood within this spectrum.
Culture Intelligence offers a quality tool for working methodically and purposefully with values and culture. We get rapid access to insight across departments and teams, and it helps us build a stronger organisational culture.
