APICS-SFV is kicking off a series of presentations “Zero to Lean in 2014” with a presentation on the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI). OCAI was developed by Kim Cameron and Robert Quinn, and is a great new tool for taking an in depth analysis of your company’s organizational culture. Mike will introduce you to the OCAI (pronounced “Oak-eye”) tool, and how it is helping companies identify traits that are impeding progress.
Has your company launched a Continuous Improvement Initiative (CI)? The OCAI can help you identify hidden agendas, road-blocks, and negative behaviors. These can prevent your initiative from being successful or, at best, be prone to unanticipated surprises. The OCAI can also help you identify positive behaviors and the sources of those behaviors.
