The Integrated Excellence Instrument

The Integrated Excellence Instrument (IEI) is a unique diagnostic tool for unlocking the full potential of your organization. It is expertly designed to evaluate the convergence of culture, operational excellence, and organizational effectiveness by focusing on the four key areas essential to any organization’s growth and success: Productivity, Alignment, Culture, and Customer Centricity.

  • The Integrated Excellence Instrument (IEI) provides a deep dive into:

    Productivity: The productivity of an organization is crucial to its success. The IEI evaluates your company's productivity by examining key factors such as goals, decision-making, and inefficiencies.

    Alignment: Alignment is a crucial determinant of organizational effectiveness. The IEI evaluates your company's alignment by examining the type, level, and frequency of collaborations across the organization.

    Culture: Culture is the foundation of any organization. The IEI evaluates your company's culture by examining individual capacity levels, recognition, feedback loops, innovation, and risk tolerance.

    Customer Centricity: The customer is at the center of any business, and their satisfaction is crucial to the success of your organization. The IEI explores the quality of customer interactions, expectation realities, and your workforce’s overall alignment on purpose.

  • Enhanced Productivity: Gain insights into the areas holding your company back from reaching its full potential. The IEI will provide a clear understanding of what is working and what needs improvement, so you can focus on the areas that matter most.

    Improved Alignment: Ensure your employees work and collaborate effectively towards the same goals and objectives. The IEI will identify areas of misalignment and friction, so you can take steps to get everyone on the same page.

    Strengthened Culture: Cultivate a positive and productive workplace culture. The IEI will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of your company's culture, so you can make needed adjustments to create a work environment that fosters collaboration, connection, and innovation.

    Exceptional Customer Experience: Delight your customers and exceed their expectations. The IEI will help you better understand how your employees see the customer, so you can make the necessary changes to continue providing them with the best possible experience.

  • The IEI is a 25-question online survey that takes 15-25 minutes to complete and can be administered to individuals on specific teams, departments, or part of a whole organization.

    The results are plotted on a scale that highlights specific behaviors that may be beneficial, potentially harmful, or clearly detrimental to the success of a team, department, or whole organization.

    The results are presented in a comprehensive, easy-to-read report with specific recommendations leaders can quickly implement simply and practically.

    The process includes a meeting with expert consultants before and after the implementation of the IEI.


    The IEI is based on the following:

    • 20+ years of research and real-world experience in culture, operational excellence, and organizational effectiveness.

    • Proven methodologies that have been successfully implemented in various industries, including finance, technology, telecommunications, manufacturing, hospitality, and consumer goods.

    • Extensive experience working with leading global Fortune 100 companies.
