Project Charter

1. Project Information

2. Project Objectives

• Conduct a comprehensive organizational culture assessment using the Denison Organizational Culture Survey and the Competing Values Framework to establish a clear, data-driven baseline of OIA's current culture.
• Identify cultural strengths that can be leveraged and gaps that need to be addressed to support OIA's strategic objectives and organizational effectiveness.
• Develop a practical, time-bound culture transformation action plan with clear ownership, measurable targets, and a governance structure for implementation.
• Build internal understanding and buy-in for culture change by engaging leaders and employees throughout the assessment process through interviews, focus groups, and transparent communication.
• Establish a measurement framework and reporting cadence that enables OIA to monitor culture health on an ongoing basis beyond the initial assessment project.
