The Organizational Growth Indicator (OGI®), developed by Dr. Brett Richards, PhD, provides leaders with a validated tool that measures 12 key factors which influence their organization’s ability to grow and transform, adaptively.
With the OGI®, leaders achieve greater assurance knowing objective metrics are being utilized to pinpoint exactly where within the organization they need to focus talent and development efforts, maximizing ROI on effort, time and dollars invested.
How does the OGI® work?
- Consists of an online employee survey, structured to suit your organizational demographics, and takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
- Measures and provides a quantitative scorecard, of your organizations readiness and ability to adapt, grow and transform, effectively in line with the 12 key factors, and correlates this score against a series of tiered factors.
- Provides a detailed report which covers:
- Your organisation’s overall OGI® score, and your customized demographic scores, in line with your strategy and goals
- How this score correlates with the percentage potential growth
- The strength of the 4 mindsets currently operating, and their impact
