Cultural Integrity Audit

Uncover Hidden Forces Shaping Your Organisation

The Cultural Integrity Audit is a quick, simple, and powerful tool designed to uncover the unseen cultural dynamics that impact your organisation’s performance. What sets this audit apart from traditional assessments is its holistic approach: while many surveys focus only on visible behaviours, the Cultural Integrity Audit measures both the seen and unseen forces—such as beliefs, emotions, and systemic patterns—that truly shape the culture and success of your organisation. This comprehensive perspective allows you to understand not only the obvious symptoms but also the root causes of cultural misalignment, enabling you to implement lasting, effective solutions.

Why Conduct a Cultural Integrity Audit?

1. Identify Root Causes of Inefficiencies and Misalignment

Organisations often face challenges that stem from deeper cultural issues—low productivity, high turnover, and resistance to change. The Cultural Integrity Audit identifies and addresses these hidden forces, giving you clarity on what is truly driving dysfunction within teams and the broader organisation. This insight helps you take proactive steps toward improvement.

2. Increase Organisational Alignment and Performance

A well-aligned organisation operates with greater efficiency, clarity, and resilience. By measuring both visible and unseen cultural elements, the audit provides actionable insights to align your people, processes, and values with your organisation’s purpose, boosting morale, performance, and long-term success.

3. Improve Employee Wellbeing and Reduce Toxicity

Toxic cultures, high stress, and unresolved conflict often stem from deeper systemic problems. The Cultural Integrity Audit helps uncover destructive patterns that may be affecting employee wellbeing and morale. Addressing these issues leads to a healthier, more engaged workforce and a positive organisational culture.

4. Facilitate Change Management and Organisational Growth

Whether undergoing restructuring, mergers, or adapting to new business phases, organisations need to understand the underlying cultural dynamics that may impact change initiatives. The audit measures readiness for change and reveals how different elements of the organisation will respond, ensuring smoother transitions and greater adaptability.

The Hidden Cost of Skipping a Cultural Integrity Audit

1. Wasting Money on Surface-Level Fixes While Core Issues Escalate

Without a Cultural Integrity Audit, organisations often throw money at generic training sessions, engagement tools, or team-building activities that look good on the surface but fail to resolve underlying cultural dysfunction. These band-aid solutions allow hidden tensions, miscommunication, and inefficiencies to persist—eventually escalating into serious operational and performance challenges.

2. Misaligned Culture Drives Turnover and Poor Performance

When cultural foundations are off, no amount of perks or engagement initiatives will stop talented people from walking out the door. High turnover, low morale, and disengagement become the norm—leading to mounting costs in recruitment, onboarding, and lost productivity. Skipping the audit means missing the chance to fix the root cause of employee dissatisfaction.

3. Innovation and Growth Are Blocked by Cultural Blind Spots

Superficial culture programs may improve optics but do little to unlock real potential. Without understanding what’s really happening beneath the surface, organisations risk stifling creativity, collaboration, and innovation. Disengaged employees won’t bring their best ideas forward, and opportunities for growth will be missed—while competitors with strong cultural alignment move ahead.

4. Change Efforts Fail Without Cultural Readiness

When cultural misalignment goes unaddressed, resistance to change is inevitable. Employees feel disconnected from the organisation’s direction, and even well-funded change initiatives fall flat. Investing in transformation without first aligning the culture is a costly mistake—one that leads to frustration, stalled progress, and wasted effort.

How the Cultural Integrity Audit Works

The Cultural Integrity Audit is quick, visual, and intuitive, taking only a few minutes to complete. By evaluating both the visible and unseen forces within the organisation, the audit provides insights across three levels: the organisation, teams, and individuals. It offers a dynamic, clear picture of where misalignments exist, and provides actionable steps for addressing these issues.

The audit consists of:

Quick Completion: With just 24 intuitive images, the audit can be completed in under 3 minutes.
Three Levels of Insight: It assesses cultural patterns at the organisational, team, and individual levels.
Customisable: The audit can be tailored for specific business units, teams, or used for a broader organisational overview.

Why the Cultural Integrity Audit is Different

Unlike traditional surveys that focus primarily on visible factors like behaviours and outcomes, the Cultural Integrity Audit examines the full spectrum of your organisation’s culture. It measures the unseen forces—emotions, beliefs, and systemic patterns—that influence behaviours and decisions, giving you a comprehensive understanding of your organisation’s health. This deeper analysis allows for more precise interventions that lead to lasting improvements, rather than temporary fixes.

How to Get Started

The Cultural Integrity Audit offers two key options to best suit your needs:

Standard Audit: A quick, ready-to-use version that provides a snapshot of organisational integrity across three levels: the organisation, teams, and individuals.
Customised Audit: A tailored deep dive into specific business units or teams, with personalised recommendations for improvement.

Both options come with the support of expert consultations and actionable insights to guide your organisation toward a healthier, more productive culture.

The Cultural Integrity Audit provides a unique approach to understanding and improving workplace culture by measuring both the seen and unseen patterns that affect organisational performance. It helps identify deep-rooted issues, offers clear insights, and guides interventions to improve integrity, culture, and long-term success.

The Cultural Integrity Audit is a tool designed to assess the hidden patterns that shape an organisation’s culture and performance. It views the organisation as a living system where individuals, teams, and the collective entity are interconnected. While the visible aspects of culture (such as behaviours and decisions) represent only 10% of the full picture, the unseen forces—emotions, beliefs, and systemic patterns—account for the remaining 90%. These unseen forces can either drive growth or create destructive patterns.

The audit identifies where the organisation, teams, or individuals may be stuck or misaligned with their natural processes, impacting overall integrity and performance. It highlights the root causes of issues such as toxic cultures, low productivity, high turnover, mental health concerns, and resistance to change. By measuring these forces, the audit provides a dynamic picture of the organisation’s integrity, guiding targeted solutions to improve culture, performance, and resilience.

The audit is simple, visual, and quick to complete, offering insights across three levels: the organisation, teams, and individuals. It can be customised for specific business units or used as a ready-to-go tool for a broad organisational overview. Ultimately, the audit helps create sustainable, high-performance workplaces by aligning people and processes with the organisation’s natural flow.

The Organisational Integrity Audit is a tool designed to measure both the visible and unseen patterns that shape an organisation’s culture and performance. Here’s a concise overview of the key points from the provided content:

Key Concepts of the Organisational Integrity Audit:

Organisations as Living Systems:
- An organisation functions as a living system with interconnected relationships between individuals, teams, and the larger entity.
- Purpose is central to the organisation, and people come together in teams to fulfill this purpose.

Scales of Influence:

- Not all entities within the organisation hold equal influence. The organisation itself has the greatest impact, followed by teams, and then individuals. However, much of the focus tends to be on changing individual behaviours rather than addressing systemic issues.

The Seen and Unseen Forces:

- The 10% of workplace culture that can be seen (behaviours, decisions, actions) is driven by the 90% of unseen forces (emotions, beliefs, systemic patterns).
- These unseen forces shape the overall culture and can either promote growth or create destructive patterns.

Growth vs. Destructive Patterns:

- Organisations, teams, and individuals each have a natural process that governs how they function.
- When this process is ignored or disrupted, it leads to destructive patterns that impact the integrity of the whole system. High-integrity workplaces are in a growth pattern, while low-integrity workplaces suffer from dysfunction.

Cost of Ignoring Integrity:

- Failing to address low workplace integrity leads to a range of symptoms, including toxic cultures, poor performance, high turnover, mental health issues, and fragmentation. Over time, this results in organisational disintegration.

Purpose of the Organisational Integrity Audit:

- The audit identifies the root causes of issues like toxic workplace culture, low productivity, high turnover, and poor morale.
- It also assesses readiness for change, both external (e.g., regulatory changes, crises) and internal (e.g., restructuring, culture change).
- The audit is a tool for creating high performance, resilience, and alignment within the workplace.

Our Point of Difference:

- Unlike many traditional surveys that focus solely on visible factors, the Integrity Audit examines the full spectrum of the organisation—individuals, teams, and the organisation itself.
- It measures how these entities are connected and influencing one another, providing a comprehensive picture of the organisation’s integrity and guiding holistic solutions.

The Integrity Audit Process:

- The audit is simple and visual, built on 24 intuitive pictures that can be completed in under 3 minutes.
- It identifies the patterns within individuals, teams, and the organisation, revealing where the natural process may be blocked or stuck.
- The audit provides actionable insights to direct resources to areas needing attention.
