Organizational Culture Assessment
Estimated time: 30–45 minutes.
Purpose: This survey measures how employees perceive LCA's culture today — the values, norms, and behaviors that shape how work gets done. Results will identify where perceptions align and where gaps exist, enabling leadership to strengthen shared understanding and connect day-to-day work to the organization's broader mission and direction.
You will be asked to complete the following, in order:
- A short set of demographic questions.
- Three multiple-choice questions about your perception of the organization's culture, plus three open responses.
- A ranking exercise describing the organization's current culture. You will sort 54 cultural attributes from those that best describe the organization to those that least describe it.
- A second exercise describing the ideal culture, using the same 54 attributes.
Your responses are confidential. Before any results are shared with the CEO, the data is filtered and identifiable demographic information is removed, so individual answers cannot be traced back to you. Results are used only in aggregate for analysis.
You may use the Back button to revise earlier answers before final submission. Please answer thoughtfully.
About you
All fields are required. No personal identifiers are collected — your responses are linked only to the role and tenure categories below.
Culture perception
Rate how strongly you agree with each statement, then answer three short form questions about your organization's culture.
Sort the cards — Current culture
Drag each card into the column that best reflects how characteristic that attribute is of the organization's culture right now. Columns on the left represent attributes least characteristic of the culture; columns on the right represent those most characteristic. Each column has a fixed number of slots that must be filled exactly before you can submit. Cards can be moved between columns and back into the "Unsorted" area freely. All 54 cards will be placed.
A note on this exercise: The Q-sort is a structured ranking method designed to surface relative priorities rather than absolute judgments. Instead of rating each attribute independently, you are forced to compare them against each other, which reveals more about what actually defines the culture than a simple rating scale would.
The fixed column sizes are intentional. They create a roughly bell-shaped distribution that requires you to make real distinctions: only a few attributes can land at the extremes. This constraint prevents the natural tendency to rate everything as "somewhat true" and forces you to commit to what genuinely stands out.
Sort the cards — Ideal culture
For this exercise, consider the following aspirations for the company:
- We do the right thing and create real value for our clients and the people who rely on the work we do.
- We succeed or fail together, so we collaborate, show up for each other, and communicate openly.
- We hold ourselves to a high standard and take pride in doing great work, paying attention to details, and solving problems before they get bigger.
- We believe high care and high accountability go together. We want people to feel valued and supported, but we also expect them to perform, grow, and continuously improve. With flexibility comes responsibility.
Drag each card into the column that best describes what the culture should ideally look like to achieve those goals. Columns on the left = least characteristic; columns on the right = most characteristic. Each column has a fixed number of slots that must be filled exactly.
