We examine the root causes of leadership performance gaps and the strength of your Culture of Voice or Silence — then partner with you to create lasting change.
Organizational silence is not a soft problem. Research shows that when employees withhold critical information, organizations face higher turnover, slower innovation, and avoidable crises — costing Fortune 500 companies an estimated $7,500 per employee per year in lost productivity alone. The question is not whether silence is costing you. It's how much.
Most organizations struggle not because their people lack talent or intelligence — but because their culture prevents honest, open communication. When employees and leaders stay silent instead of speaking up, organizations drift toward mediocrity, missed opportunities, and avoidable crises.
At RVB Associates, we go beneath the surface. We identify the root causes of leadership performance gaps and the hidden cultural forces — the Culture of Silence — that hold your organization back. Then we help you build a Culture of Voice where candor, courage, and collaboration thrive.
The difference between these two cultures determines whether your organization reaches its potential — or falls short of it.
The Silence & Voice Inventory (SVI®) is RVB Associates' proprietary diagnostic tool, developed through years of original research. It measures the health of your organizational culture along the voice-silence spectrum, pinpointing exactly where — and why — silence takes hold.
The SVI provides a quantitative, data-driven baseline for your culture transformation. Every workshop, coaching engagement, and organizational program we design is grounded in your SVI results.
Six integrated service areas, each informed by the SVI diagnostic and tailored to your specific goals.
