The Denison Model
The Denison Model provides a comprehensive, yet easy to interpret guide for organizational change through two frameworks:
- Organizational Culture Model
- Leadership Development Model
The Organizational Culture Model and the Leadership Development Model. Built on the same foundation, both models describe the characteristics of high-performance business culture and leadership and measure four essential traits of all organizations. Supported by over 25 years of business applications and scientific research, the Denison tools truly connect culture and leadership to the bottom line.
