Assessment Tools In a world of increasing stakeholder expectations and decreasing resources, aggressive cost cutting programs have run their course. Where do you turn next? The powerful Breckenridge Culture Indicator The Breckenridge Culture Indicator (BCI) is a deep dive into what’s really going on inside your entire organization - from top to the bottom. The BCI is the most comprehensive and powerful assessment tool available anywhere, yet the results of the data analysis are condensed into a concise 10 page Executive Summary that contains findings and a step-by-step guide of actionable items to implement that will improve your business performance. These findings are presented to you in less than 2 hours. Because it evaluates an organization’s entire system, the BCI is typically used by top managers, business owners, and Board of Directors. While all organizations will benefit from using the BCI, we have found that companies that are anticipating or experiencing significant change will receive even more value from using the BCI. Breckenridge Work-Group Indicator Effectively leading a work-group takes an enormous amount of time and energy because managers have to maintain a balance between conflicting or competing interests in a complex system of coalitions of small groups who “see” business issues very differently. The Breckenridge Work-Group Indicator (BWI) can help make the task of managing people much, much easier. For example, in a work-group of 20 people, the manager has to keep track of nineteen relationships between themselves and others, plus 171 third-party relationships. The dynamics of third-party relationships change and become even more complex when combined into coalitions of 3s and 4s. Unlike traditional approaches that use individual personality profiles, the revolutionary BWI presents a comprehensive 3D evaluation of group-dynamics and barriers to effective communication in work-groups. It gives managers a shorthand way to understand and effectively manage the differences between people at the work-group, small-group, and individual levels. Because it evaluates work-groups (departments, teams, etc) within the larger context of an organization’s structures, systems, and culture, the BWI is typically used by middle managers, front-line supervisors, and team leaders.
