Organizational Assessments
Diagnostic Data Indicating Alignment of Organizational Goals (DIALOG)
Paradigm Associates provides organizational assessment services that help leaders understand how strategy, leadership, people, processes, workplace climate, customer and market focus, measurement, and business results are aligned. Using DIALOG assessment tools, Paradigm examines organization-wide alignment across these areas, while employee-engagement surveys, cultural assessments, and leadership evaluations focus on specific areas.
DIALOG (Diagnostic Data Indicating Alignment of Organizational Goals) is Paradigm's organization-wide assessment. It examines how strategy, leadership, people, processes, workplace climate, customer and market focus, measurement, and business results relate to one another. For situations requiring a narrower view, Paradigm also offers employee-engagement surveys, cultural assessments, and leadership evaluations.
DIALOG is designed to show how different parts of the organization relate to its goals, helping leaders identify areas of alignment and areas that may require attention. Findings are tied back to organizational objectives rather than treated as isolated activity measures.
Through DIALOG, we offer deep insights into areas like:
- Business Results
- Customer and Market Focus
- Human Resource Focus
- Leadership
- Knowledge Management and Measurement
- Process Management
- Strategic Planning
- Workplace Climate
Paradigm summarizes the findings in a final report. The work can also include tailored employee stratification and employee-sentiment measures, including a "Refer-a-Friend" measure. When those measures are repeated, the results can be compared over time to show how conditions are changing.
The result is a clearer view of how organizational conditions relate to strategic goals and where leaders may want to focus attention.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an organizational assessment?
An organizational assessment is a structured review of how an organization's strategy, leadership, people, processes, workplace climate, customer and market focus, measurement practices, and business results are aligned. It helps leaders identify conditions that support their goals and conditions that may be working against them.
How is DIALOG different from an employee-engagement survey?
DIALOG examines organization-wide alignment across strategy, leadership, people, processes, workplace climate, customer and market focus, measurement, and business results. An employee-engagement survey focuses more narrowly on employee sentiment and the workplace factors affecting commitment and participation.
Does Paradigm offer more focused assessments?
Yes. In addition to DIALOG, Paradigm offers employee-engagement surveys, cultural assessments, and leadership evaluations for situations where leaders need insight into a specific area rather than an organization-wide view.
What does a client receive after an organizational assessment?
Paradigm summarizes the findings in a final report. The work can also include tailored employee stratification and employee-sentiment measures, including a "Refer-a-Friend" measure. When those measures are repeated, the results can be compared over time to show how conditions are changing.

What Our Clients Had to Say:
I have known and worked with Doug for over 20 years. He is an expert in his field and provides great value for his clients. He is committed to achieving measurable results.
Creating and implementing a strategic plan requires an experienced partner. When some colleagues introduced me to Doug Brown, I knew he was the person who could take our firm to the next level. Doug worked with our leadership team to create a strategic vision for our future. Doug helped develop new leaders and evaluate potential new team members to find the right fit. He did such a great job we were acquired by a US Top 30 CPA firm!
Working with Doug Brown and the ACI Assessments has been incredibly insightful. Each assessment reads like an in-depth personal study providing accurate and invaluable information. If you are willing to embrace the information and use it day to day, your team will gain a better understanding of communication styles, making the results inevitable.
I strongly recommend Doug and his process whether you are considering making a career transition, want a great guide to your next steps, or just want to maximize your effectiveness in all areas of your life (and who doesn't?). I had the absolute pleasure of working with Doug during a full personal and professional assessment process. Part of this included a remarkably easy and time efficient to use web-based instrument that really clarified my understanding of key strengths (with some surprises!) and areas to watch (with some surprises!). Doug's analysis of the comprehensive report and data helped me with additional insights, and he has that fantastic skill of leading you through the information and making it stick. It has directed my way forward both personally and professionally. Doug takes the time needed to make sure you really understand not only the big picture but also the nuances that can help or hinder you. The magic really is in the details.
I just completed the Advance Insights Profile with Doug and am truly in awe over the amount of insight he brought to this experience. He is very knowledgeable about the process therefore, delivering the results in a clear and concise manner. I love to listen to his thoughts, his experience, his knowledge, about all things, but what made this an even better experience is that I believe he also took this opportunity to understand me better. I would highly recommend any and everyone participate in this activity because it can either open you up to things you didn't know or validate what you did. It's a great tool to help you develop your skill set. Thanks Doug!
Doug created an environment of trust and encouraged open, candid dialogue. This helped us address areas in which we need improvement.
Working with Doug and the Paradigm team fundamentally changed the operational stance of our business, making us a more proactive team executing against a core strategy. We learned a number of new skills and frameworks that enhanced our ability to sell and service our clients.
Working with Doug on our strategic planning process transformed our family business. The guidance helped align my vision with my two adult sons, fostering open communication and a shared roadmap for growth. The process not only clarified our goals but also strengthened our working relationships, setting us up for long-term success.
