The Culture Auditor Diagnostic Framework©
Reveal the Hidden Dynamics Blocking Flow, Inclusion, and Efficiency
Behind every stuck initiative, disengaged team, or misaligned leadership culture lies an often-invisible force: cultural friction.
The Culture Auditor Diagnostic Framework, developed by intercultural leadership consultant Maria-Gabriele Doublesin, offers a rigorous, evidence-based system to identify and resolve the cultural blind spots, behavioural patterns, and unspoken tensions that disrupt alignment and operational performance—especially in diverse, hybrid, and cross-sector contexts.
This service is ideal for organizations ready to move beyond awareness and into actionable insight.
Through a structured combination of qualitative analysis and proprietary tools, we help you uncover:
- Misalignment across values, expectations, and leadership styles
- Barriers to cross-functional collaboration, inclusion, or agility
- Cultural disconnects impacting decision-making, trust, and flow
- Resistance to change rooted in unconscious norms or blind spots
- Generational, ethnic, class-based, or ability-related cultural tensions
This diagnostic service is built around three proprietary instruments:
OPE-360™ – Operational Performance & Efficiency Diagnostic
A trademarked tool that assesses how cultural dynamics shape team performance across functions, sectors, and identity groups.
It identifies operational friction caused by miscommunication, unclear accountability, and cultural dissonance.
CAS2-20 © – Culture Adaptability Scale
Evaluates an individual’s or team’s readiness to work across cultural difference.
Ideal for leadership development, international scaling, and DEI integration.
EPI-33 © – Ethnocentricity Perspective Inventory
Assesses unconscious cultural bias, helping leaders and teams identify the default lenses that limit collaboration and inclusion.
Optional Learning Support: Training + Handbook
Our diagnostic work can be extended with a structured learning package:
A 4-module online bite sized training programme (30 minutes per module) covering:
- The foundations of culture and operational impact
- Tool interpretation and use cases
- Team debriefing strategies
- Designing culturally responsive interventions
This also includes access to the digital handbook:
Unlocking Efficiency Across Teams & Cultures: A Handbook for Smart Work – Not Hard Work
This guide links Lean, Kaizen, and intercultural thinking into a cohesive, practical system of inclusive performance.
Service Formats
We offer the Culture Auditor Diagnostic Framework through:
- Targeted team assessments (1–3 teams or departments)
