The Culture Identity Assessment Tool (CIAT) is an assessment survey for measuring organizational culture.

The model was created based on research by Gustavo Razzetti, the creator of the Culture Design Canvas. The CIAT provides a validated, visual, and quantitative profile of your current culture – both dominant and secondary.

The model is based in four types of organizational culture. Every organization has its own mix of these four types of workplace culture. The survey maps the dominant type of culture, as well as the secondary ones, identifying concrete areas of improvement.

The CIAT measures tangible attributes of organizational culture directly tied to leadership, alignment, behavior, and performance. It provides a clear picture of the real culture using a 21-question survey.

In one simple picture, find out the type of culture you have, uncovering what’s working and what’s not. Visualize gaps between the current and ideal culture, as well as across teams.

Measure the 7 key cultural dimensions: leadership, psychological safety, agility, alignment, belonging, decision-making, and behaviors that are rewarded and punished. Invite your team members to create a vision of the ideal culture.
