WAVZ Impact Grid®—An Interdisciplinary Model for Systemic Organizational Diagnostics

This white paper introduces the WAVZ Impact Grid®—an interdisciplinary model for organisational analysis and development.
It illustrates how structure, space, brand, and culture interact—and where tensions arise that can block progress.
The model functions both as a tool for systemic organisational diagnostics and as a practice-oriented business assessment framework.

The foundation of the WAVZ Impact Grid® combines systems theory, spatial sociology, organisational culture, and brand management into a structured framework for strategic business design and organisational evaluation.
It is designed to effectively support change management strategies, new work concepts, and digital transformation.

Contents of this white paper:

• Theoretical foundations (systems theory, spatial sociology, organisational culture, brand management)

• Structure of the model with four dimensions, four levels of impact, and sixteen fields of interaction

• Methodological application in analysis, consulting, and organisational development

• Examples of application: reorganisation, brand repositioning, hybrid work models, AI-supported evaluations in organisational diagnostics

• Perspectives for further development, including integration into the WAVZ® Tool Suite
