Overview
When two or more organizations merge together, the task is daunting and the stakes are high. The real question is how will you accurately, comprehensively and quickly measure and manage those cultures to improve the success of your new organization? Don’t leave your merger to chance and risk the potential clash of cultures.

Perceptyx knows that climate and culture are not the same thing, so they cannot be measured in the same way. Perceptyx's measurement tools are custom designed for each specific assessment area. We can make sure you accurately uncover the culture of merging organizations. Our Merger and Acquisition Cultural Due Diligence enables you to:

Collect perceptions within a short timeframe;
Understand what aspects of each merging culture must match for the best transition;

Competing Values Framework
The Competing Values Framework powered by the Perceptyx Culture Assessment solution is one of the most powerful tools available for Diagnosing and Changing Organizational Culture (Cameron and Quinn). This proven method has helped hundreds of companies and thousands of managers understand what organizational culture looks like, what it should look like, and what to do to make that happen. Combining this methodology with our technology, Perceptyx dramatically impacts the success of organizational performance.

The above sample of the Competing Values Framework shows the natural competition of values that can occur in every organization. Being internally focused can compete with an appropriate amount of external focus. Flexibility can come at the cost of stability. By measuring the relative level of the four affects of these values in your organization, you can reveal a graphic image of your organizational culture.

Comparing that to the cultures of successful organizations in and outside your industry can help you determine what you want your culture to look like. Then by assessing the competencies of your management you can determine what it may require to move your organization to improved performance!
