archetyping
Archetypes touch us at an unconscious, instinctual level and exert profound influence on our motivations and actions. The KCIS (Kenexa Cultural Insight Survey®) is a groundbreaking, scientifically validated measure of an organization’s culture in terms of archetypes — the organization’s stories, symbols, patterns, and themes. Allegory is proud to be among a select few organizations certified to administer this online survey tool.
The KCIS® assesses twelve organizational archetypal patterns measuring the collective cultural perceptions shared from the top desk to every desk. This instrument can be applied to every employee or a significant representative sampling of each sub-set. The survey can also be set-up to evaluate similarities and differences in perception between divisions, job levels and more.
