The Framework

The ViVo Pulse Framework

13 dimensions. 134 indicators. One pulse score.

Insights are based on curated, proven behavioral science and systems, and over 20 years of our own experience.

Three core domains

ViVo Pulse organizes what it hears into three core domains. Every score traces back to a question we asked a real person on your team โ€” not a survey click.

Domain 01 ยท OCS

Organizational Culture & Strategy

Are people aligned on where the company is going โ€” and do they trust how it gets there?

  • Strategic alignment โ€” 14 indicators
  • Trust and integrity โ€” 9 indicators
  • Organizational culture โ€” 12 indicators

3 dimensions ยท 35 indicators

Domain 02 ยท LCS

Leadership, Collaboration & Structure

  • Vision & strategic direction โ€” 11 indicators
  • Decision-making quality โ€” 12 indicators
  • Cross-team collaboration โ€” 10 indicators
  • Role clarity & accountability โ€” 9 indicators
  • Team support โ€” 9 indicators

Domain 03 ยท SRS

  • Knowledge management โ€” 11 indicators
  • Operational resilience โ€” 9 indicators
  • Leadership pipeline โ€” 10 indicators

5 dimensions ยท 48 indicators

Grounded in five validated frameworks

ViVo Pulse maps every conversation against 134 behavioral indicators drawn from five validated frameworks grounded in organizational theory: Burke-Litwin, McKinsey 7S, Denison, the Team Diagnostic Survey (TDS), and Leadership Circle.

The system scores responses against these predetermined indicators โ€” focusing on structural causes rather than individual performance โ€” and distinguishes behavioral patterns that compensate for misalignment from the root systemic issues underneath.

  • Burke-Litwin
  • McKinsey 7S
  • Denison
  • Team Diagnostic Survey (TDS)
  • Leadership Circle

From voices to score

  • Interactive dashboard (Pulse Score Dashboard)
  • Executive summary

  • 60-minute strategic debrief
