About the Tool

The Culture Mapping Worksheet is a structured, reflective tool that helps teams and leaders identify the invisible norms shaping how they communicate, make decisions, give feedback, and include others.

It is ideal for:

• Team development & offsites
• DEI facilitation
• HR culture audits
• Leadership coaching
• Cross-cultural onboarding

Unique Value Proposition (UVP)

The Culture Mapping Worksheet stands out because it:

1. Democratizes cultural diagnostics: Any team can use facilitators or software required.
2. Goes beyond identity labels: It explores how cultural expectations based on age, education, communication style, and status affect inclusion.
3. Links inclusion and operations: It helps teams reflect not just on “who feels welcome,” but how that affects meetings, decisions, and feedback.
4. Targets micro-patterns, not just macro culture: It reveals localized norms that vary even within departments or functions.

Value to Teams and HR

For Teams:

• Facilitates safer conversations around difficult topics (bias, hierarchy, silence, misunderstanding)
• Builds shared awareness without requiring prior cultural competence
• Sparks tangible action ideas for inclusion and better collaboration

For HR and DEI:

• Useful in focus groups, listening sessions, or DEI diagnostics
• Offers qualitative insight to complement surveys or engagement data

Easy to embed in onboarding, team development, or leadership coaching
