Abstract
The Organizational Values Matrix (OVM) can be used in experiential workshops to align the process of leaders and employees and reveal how alignment supports organizational values initiatives. The OVM was developed from research that was carried out in two voluntary and community sector (VCS) organizations in the north-west of the United Kingdom. The OVM incorporates values-based themes and organizational areas which underpin values ideas within an organizational context. The OVM is a framework which enables leaders to take a planned approach to experiential learning, appreciating the internal capacity of understanding values, linking components within the organization whilst recognizing the impact on actions and experiences. The matrix consists of connectors, altruistic, controllers and auxiliary quadrants. The quadrants form the basis of four experiential developmental workshops.
