Transforming corporate culture is not a small undertaking. There are usually both tangible and intangible costs. When done effectively, the long-term advantages far outweigh the costs of living with a culture that isn't thriving, but how do you measure the impact of such a change? After all, much of what constitutes corporate culture is intangible. For that reason, the goal isn't really to measure the culture but rather to measure the outcomes that are impacted by the culture.

Would you be willing to tolerate a sale where the margins were below your team’s KPIs, just in order to get the revenue from the sale? And would you punish a different team member if they wanted to use those same low margins in the future? This shows the gap between what you expect, according to your strategy, and what you tolerate.
