Special Projects.
We pride ourselves on value creation, this is the driving force in our special projects.
Through the years, Organizational structure has been defined by Scholars, Executives and Corporate Anthropologists along continuum’s that are intended to represent polarities of behaviour. They cover a wide range of leadership and communication styles, decision-making and every other governing principle illustrated in the organization and reinforced and normalized by the key talent systems and management practices.
Owing to a wealth of knowledge by the Clarion group comprising over 40 years of in-depth knowledge gained through work with Hundreds of clients across a plethora of industries and sectors in over 40 countries, 7 major dimensions of culture have been identified. This dimensions are known as the secret seven.
These dimensions consistently emerge as critical in the operations relating to the organization. The seven dimensions aren’t the only dimensions. There are four sub-dimensions for each of them which constantly emerge in the workplace. While noting that there are no better or worse dimensions, every organization must consider the elements which empower the organization to achieve its vision and Strategy/ mission, purpose and values and how best to position it in the market it satisfies.
In conjunction with Smithswork Limited, Clarion group is providing free access to the Secret Seven survey in Nigeria. For more information on the Secret 7, or if you’d like to receive a unique survey which is useful for your company for free, Click Here and complete the form.
