Human Synergistics Integrated Approach

Through the common language of the Circumplex the Human Synergistics Integrated Model links culture and leadership in a way that allows individual managers and leaders to understand how they are perpetuating the current state through their thinking and behaviour.

Human Synergistics has developed a methodology based on the circumplex. Human Synergistics instruments go through beliefs, teams, leadership philosophy, organizational culture and show us that everything is interconnected. The way people behave, how they are led, how organizations work are based on beliefs, and Human Synergistics methodology helps you pass through several layers with the same conceptual model.

Benefits of culture diagnosis

Culture diagnosis gives you quantitative and qualitative data about:
  • The current culture of the organization and the way people behave at work
  • The way the structure of the analyzed organization is perceived
  • The causes that determine organizational culture
  • The effects that the current organizational structure and culture generate?
  • The aspirations of the employees (related both to the work environment and to the leaders of the organization)

All this information will be clear, coherent and explained in the diagnosis report.

Culture diagnosis is based on two main approaches

Structure of the organization

The way the organization works and is organized, what is the strategy, organizational chart and all processes and procedures of the organization

Organizational culture

Aspects related to how people interact with each other in the organization and how they do their work

The long-term results of an organization depend on the repeated behaviors of employees. The intensity of these behavioral norms gives the organizational culture. If an organization aims for certain outcomes in the future, it should ensure that people’s behavioral routines support those aspirations and do not hold them back.

The model we use when we diagnose culture is called “How Culture Works”

Following the completion of the OCI and OEI inventory by the organization’s employees, a diagnosis report will result detailing the model above.

Specifically, understanding how culture and climate work together means understanding 4 separate but interconnected components:

  • 1 Ideal Culture: Employees' aspirations and expectations about the place they want to work in. We analyze the type of culture that the top management team wants (the ideal culture). It reflects the values of the organization and the behaviors that leaders believe will lead to high performance. (a Circumplex profile)
  • 2 The causal factors or levers of change: the elements of the organizational architecture that generate the current culture. We analyze the extent to which organizational members see the structures, practices, and systems in the organization (causal factors) as consistent and aligned with this ideal culture (causal factors). These dimensions of climate show to which extent the organization is creating the context for high performance. These factors are actionable and can change the current culture. (31 micro dimensions, grouped into 5 macro dimensions).
  • 3 Current culture: the implicit pressure employees feel from the organization. We measure the current culture that emerges as a result of the way the organization implements these structures, practices and systems. Current culture shows us what behaviors are generated by those structures, systems, and practices. (a Circumplex profile)
  • 4 Consequences (impact of culture). We analyze the consequences of culture at the individual (such as commitment), group (such as teamwork), or organizational (such as external adaptability) levels. These dimensions show us how the organization is performing. (12 sizes grouped into 3 categories). Consequently, information regarding the commitment is included.
