Introducing The New Denison Consulting: Data-Driven Enhanced Solutions for Greater Impact

In order to remain relevant and better serve their constituencies, organizations are always looking for ways to improve their performance. And in many companies, metrics like revenue growth, productivity, profits, error rates, safety, etc., are seen as the measurements of an organization’s success.

Employees are a key part of any organization’s success, so over the years many companies have tried to measure employee morale and satisfaction, reasoning that happy employees would be more productive and deliver better results. Unfortunately, employee happiness has turned out to be a poor predictor of job performance.

More recently, many companies have focused on measuring engagement with the view that more engaged employees are consistently more productive. However, definitions of engagement varied widely, making the findings difficult to action. Also, engagement scores tend to be fairly stable over time, with highly engaged employees remaining so and disengaged employees also remaining so.

Both of these approaches lacked clear connection to company performance, so CEO’s and other business executives lost interest. Employee trust was also eroded because they experienced repeated surveys, sometimes followed by a report out of results, and then… nothing changed… because the results were not insightful enough for the leadership team to action effectively. It became just a “check the box” exercise.

Insightful leaders have continued to look for data and insights on how to improve performance consistently and sustainably within their organizations. Enter Denison Consulting as a pioneer in measuring, analyzing, and leveraging Organizational Health to improve operating performance.

Organizational health is the combination of culture, strategy, leadership, and the systems and ways of working that enable employees to succeed and the business to perform — now and in the future.

It is not a soft concept — it’s a leading driver of productivity, adaptability, and sustained performance

Healthy organizations get the fundamentals right:

• Clear strategy, goals, and core values
• Effective leadership at every level
• An efficient operating model and structure
• Consistent, empowering talent management and development
• Strong customer commitment
• Capacity to adapt and evolve

Employees know what’s working — and what’s not

• But most organizations fail to capture that knowledge in an actionable way or connect employee knowledge to the drivers of operating performance

This focus on long-term operational success formed the foundation of the Denison Model Assessment, which has helped over 8,000 organizations improve their performance and sustain that success. Our analytically rigorous benchmark also highlights key aspects of organizational health that directly correlate to operating performance.

With input from over 8,000 clients, 5 million employees, and leveraging more than 240 million data points, the Denison Model is backed by one of the most robust benchmarking and best practices databases in the industry.

Denison is continuously rolling out new solutions to help organizations tackle organizational health challenges with sharper tools, deeper insights, actionable strategies…and even better ROI.

Introducing the Denison Model Index (DMI), a powerful, predictive measure of an organization’s long-term performance capability, linking organizational insights directly to financial outcomes such as faster revenue and EBITDA growth.

The DMI is an overall score that clients track over time to show improvement and resiliency in their organization health. The DMI is a composite score based on the details of the Denison Model Assessment that provides CEOs, investors, and other leaders a snapshot view of their culture and how the company is performing across a number of dimensions.

Having historically relied on past financial results as the key indicator of potential future success, CEOs and investors alike have found the DMI to be a useful predictive tool. Used together, the DMI and Denison Model Assessment provide leaders with a holistic view of organizational health and detailed analysis to help them make strategic adjustments and improve operating performance as a result. It’s a powerful combination.
