Organizational Values Lifecycle

▶ All institutions have a “value core” out of which come all their behaviors, rules, and management structures or the “Corporate Culture.”

▶ This “value core” develops through the lifecycle of the organization and is based on the popularly held images of the Executive Team.

Aligning the System through Values Alignment is achieved by consensus on the core values that form the

unique cultural identity of the organization, enabling the core competencies of each position to create competitive advantage in business operations and customer service.

Aligning Culture with Strategy through Values

“A well designed strategic management process in which alignment is continually sought between organizational elements, external elements and choice of strategy (Galbraith and Kazanjian, 1986) will include appraisal of organizational culture” (Bennett, et al., 1994). Values Assessment and Alignment appraises the drivers of the elements of the culture as described by Saffold (1988) as “sociological penetration, psychological penetration, historical penetration, and artifactual penetration, elemental coherence, symbolic potency, strategic fit, and alloplasticity.” and the “cultural web” elements described by Johnson and Scholes (1999) as stories, rituals and routines, symbols, organizational structure, control systems, and power structures.”

The Values Assessment enables and activates any Competency model by identifying which competencies are out of alignment with an individual’s Values. This knowledge allows supervisors to coach employees from a Values perspective rather than a skills perspective, because values drive competencies, skills and behaviors.  When we tell someone how to behave, even if we give them skill training, they might not have an internal value that supports that skill or behavior and, psychologically, will not practice that skill.  We need to work from the level of Values and internal motivation to teach skills that match with competencies required for the position.

Aligning Culture with Strategy through Values

“Identifying misalignments means looking around the organization, talking to people, getting input, and asking, “If these are our core values and this is fundamentally why we exist, what are the obstacles that get in our way?” For instance, many organizations say they respect and trust their people to do the right thing, but they undermine that statement by doing X, Y, and Z…First, you cannot “set” organizational values, you can only discover them. Nor can you “install” new core values into people. Core values are not something people “buy in” to. People must be predisposed to holding them. Executives often ask me, “How do we get people to share our core values?” You don’t. Instead, the task is to find people who are already predisposed to sharing your core values. You must attract and then retain these people and let those who aren’t predisposed to sharing your core values go elsewhere” (Collins, 2000).

“Strategic values are motivating to employees to the extent that they reflect employees' internal affective, normative, and task-oriented values, a zone of existing values” (Paarlberg & Perry,2007).

Alignment of dominant cultural values within society, industry, and the organization will better

position the firm for effective achievement of its objectives (Cartwright & Cooper,1993; Cox & Blake,1991).

Increasing Business Value…..through Human Values.“Values are ideals that give significance to our lives, that are reflected through the priorities that we choose,

and that we act on consistently and repeatedly.” – Brian P. Hall, PhD.

Values Technology, Inc. is anchored by the unique values framework that Dr. Brian P. Hall developed and honed since the early 1970’s. This framework has been validated by academic institutions and tens of thousands of assessments with many global organizations.

Values Technology, Inc. has engineered a multi-cultural values measurement system that accurately identifies an individual’s, team’s and organization’s core values. The system employs a 125 question survey that tabulates one’s values from a past, present, and future perspective, providing an accurate portrayal of motivations and goals to develop competencies, skills, decision making ability and behaviors. Using the well researched and independently validated values measurement instrument based on the Hall-Tonna Theory, organizations can understand the collective values of employees, leadership and the organization, thereby improving organizational alignment to take advantage of market opportunities, improve customer service, and decrease costs of misaligned communication.

Misalignment▶ New employees may not be aligned with corporate strategy. Aging workforce has been aligned with Company but

new hires have different sets of Values driving their behaviors which require a new management style to maintain engagement and productivity (Thomas, 2009)..

▶ Engagement: Only one out of three employees is fully engaged in his or her job, according to the Towers Perrin Global Workforce Study (2008). According to that same study, another 28% are partly or fully engaged, whereas 43% are enrolled, meaning they are on the job and contributing, but not putting in the extra effort that could benefit the organization and improve business performance.

▶ Customers want new choices; Global warming and the switch to renewable energy sources are becoming concerns for customers. Company will be pressured by customers to align the organizations choices with a different set of Values than in the past to meet customer service needs. It takes a new set of Values to educate customers about efficiency and new energy sources and help them change their behaviors (Exelon, 2008). The Value chain for the stakeholders does not have common ground at each activity, causing confusion.

Values Technology, Inc. Organization & Performance Excellence 15

Page 16: Vt Menu Of Services 2010

Misalignment New regulatory environment requires new sets of Values. A new level of Values are needed to stay ahead of

new regulations, and the future brings a whole new game with concerns over Sustainability like global warming, renewable energy, tighter pollution standards, stricter corporate ethics laws like Sarbanes-Oxley, regional (RGGI, 2010) and EPA greenhouse gas reporting and future reduction mandates (Brandt-Erichsen, 2009), and investor pressure (Acclimatise & IBM, 2009, 2010). According to a study published by MIT Sloan Management Review, “Overall, corporate respondents in the broader survey group deemed government legislation the sustainability-related issue with the greatest impact on their business” (Berns, et al., 2009). In one case, New York’s Attorney General forced agreement from major energy production companies to report “to provide investors with detailed information on the financial risks posed by climate change” (Kerschner, 2009). Values are the drivers of the decisions that allow a company to respond to or lead regulatory changes (Schmidt & McEwen,2007).

Coaching & Development – Lack of career planning, especially planning that is tailored to the needs of the employee. Many employees don’t know what they need in their careers and need guidance, but that guidance can often be misguided and pushed by the desires of the supervisor, rather than pulled by the desires of the employee.

Rewards and Recognition – Lack of recognition, praise and respect that meets the specific needs of each individual. Each employee has a different set of performance motivators that are internal and hidden. It can be challenging to uncover what engages each person to perform at their best.

Work-life Balance – Lack of perceived concern about employee problems; fun not encouraged. The gaps between a persons home life and work life is one determinant of their performance on the job.

Fairness – Not holding Colleagues accountable, not dealing with poor performers. Coaching can be behavioral, and is sometimes mandated to be by different regulations, but effective coaching for leadership and more autonomous work needs to beat deeper level than behavior and skills training. Poor performance may not resolvable because of a distinct gap between values of the person and the organization.

Gaps & Challenges Values Technology Resolutions

Aligning Culture (business practices & operations) to Strategy

Values assessment can show the drivers of decisions, behavior and activities, providing insight to make specific changes.

Competencies that drive behavior and skills may be resisted, leaving personnel to wonder why they can’t develop certain competencies well

Ensures that Competencies are intrinsically motivated; “extrinsic rewards are now less important, as day-to-day motivation is more strongly driven by intrinsic rewards (Thomas,2009).

Employee Development is driven by internal motivators that drive behavior

Values make motivational behavioral drivers explicit in a safe way that allows employees to align and improve their motivation to

Colleague Value Proposition will be interpreted differently by people

Values assessment can align an individual’s definition of the CVP with the corporations intentions and ensure that the value chain for colleagues is based on the same elements at each business activity.

Misalignment with industry and societal changes can make a business slow to adapt to market needs, increase costs of compliance and litigation, and miss new market opportunities.

Values assessment can determine Which Values need to be strengthened to respond to and lead the market which increases revenue and improves service and regulatory changes thereby decreasing costs of compliance and litigation

Employee Engagement is difficult to measure due to the high variability of individual preferences

Values assessment identifies sets of values that can be categorized to enable engagement more easily by an organization

Company Integrated Talent Management Gaps & Challenges

Values Technology Resolutions

Relationships are the glue for teamwork that can be very expensive when they fail, negatively impacting customer service and operational efficiency

Values clarification can bridge relationships by making the values of each person more explicit, in a safe way, so that people can communicate with each other and understand what is important to each other.

Communication breakdowns occur because people care about different organizational practices in different ways. Miscommunication increases mistakes and time for service.

This developmental paradigm is the basis for discovering gaps in priorities and world view that get in the way of effective communication. For example, a person at stages 5/6 who is trying to solve a customer problem will view the issues as requiring a tailored and collaborative response. Such a person will listen actively, be open to new solutions, and demonstrate trust and transparency in the relationship. On the other hand, if the customer is at stages 5/6 as we have described while the company representative is at stages 3/4, the experience will be quite different. For this person, the task comes first and relationship and trust second. The stage 3/4 person views solutions as packaged information based on past successful formulas and rules of how things should be done, and is not open to new solutions or to collaborating on new approaches. It is apple and oranges communication. Both parties end up being confused, not realizing that the differences are developmental both parties are coming from different values stages, world-views, and ways of relating. By scanning public documents such as advertising and form letters to stockholders, we have found that similar problems of miscommunication occur in printed communication.

Gaps & Challenges Values Technology Resolutions

Work-life balance is misaligned for some employees. The gaps between a persons home life and work life is one determinant of their performance on the job.

Values assessments can identify the specific gaps between home and work life to find new connections with the work to increase engagement and bring natural balance to an employee’s life.

Visions and Missions are often lofty goals, disconnected with the reality of day-to-day operations. Visions and Missions that are created by a leadership team represents the values of the leadership team, but not necessarily the values of the people who need to put it into action every day, in contact with other stakeholders like customers, investors, suppliers, regulators and business partners.

The possibility of achieving a vision is exponentially increased when that vision aligns with the values of the people who are charged with making it a reality. VT makes the tacit values explicit providing a shared language and a guidance system for consistent decisions.

Strategy is operationalized through the decisions made by individuals through the operations value chain. Misguided decisions, however knowledegable, increase costs and limit efficiency.

Over 20 years of validated research has proven that Values Assessments can predict the decisions that someone is most likely to make. Decisions are precursors to behavior and affect how strategy is operationalized. Organizations are driven by the Values of the leadership team followed by the collective values priorities of the employees. Knowing the Values of the leadership team will predict the direction of the organization. Ensuring that employees have matching Values and building “facilitative agents” (Marko, 2006) into the organizational systems will align the values of everyone and every process.

Talent Management can be a complicated change process with disconnected activities.

Values assessment can correlate many of the Talent Management changes and provide a common foundation for every business activity. Explicit values act as a talent magnet with the right motivation drivers.

The Customer Service Value Chain has broken links and value for the customer can be defined differently at each business activity. End users build the Company brand and trigger opportunities for innovation.

Values are the common element throughout the value chain for colleagues and customers, as values drive decisions and behaviors. Values aligns each business activity with the values of colleagues and the customer.
