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.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
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)
- Leadership or board-level cultural alignment audits
- Organization-wide diagnostics (as part of change, DEI, or restructuring initiatives)
- Train-the-trainer packages (for internal consultants and HR teams)
All engagements include pre-assessment scoping, data analysis, facilitation of debriefs, and action-planning support.
This is not a culture “survey”—it’s a strategic diagnostic tool that generates measurable business value:
- Improve clarity, accountability, and flow in cross-cultural or hybrid teams
- Reduce resistance to change and inclusion efforts
- Strengthen leadership effectiveness through bias-aware decision-making
- Surface root-cause issues that obstruct growth, innovation, or engagement
- Align operational processes with your people strategy
- Leadership teams navigating complexity, integration, or transformation
- DEI, HR, and OD professionals embedding inclusion into real operations
- Global teams facing friction across generations, identities, or geographies

Cross-Generational Intercultural Pattern Scan Worksheet – C-GIPS Worksheet 2025©
New joiners don’t speak up.
Generations misunderstand each other.
Cultural tensions stay just below the surface.
You won’t hear it in a staff survey.
You may not even see it in exit interviews.
But you feel it—in the tone of meetings, the uneven participation, or the quiet drop in trust.
The Cross-Generational Intercultural Pattern Consultation and Worksheet is designed for exactly these moments.
It’s a structured, self-guided reflection tool that helps teams uncover the hidden norms and assumptions that shape how they communicate, decide, collaborate, and include—or exclude—each other. Drawing on layers of identity such as generation, socio-economic background, religion, and culture, this tool maps out the fault lines that often go unspoken but deeply affect performance and belonging.
How This Tool Supports Diagnostic Work
This tool isn’t the solution. It’s the diagnostic clarity that allows the right solution to emerge.
It gives teams language to talk about things they’ve felt but not named. And it gives consultants, HR leaders, and organizational decision-makers the qualitative insight needed to:
- Understand where disconnects are happening—and why
- Identify inclusion barriers embedded in communication or workflow norms
- Support cross-generational understanding and cultural alignment
- Inform policy recommendations, leadership training, or strategic development
Tool-Enabled Consultancy
This worksheet can be delivered:
- As a standalone team reflection resource (with optional explainer guide)
- As part of a diagnostic consultancy engagement with facilitated debriefs and pattern analysis
- Within a broader culture transformation process involving audits, workshops, and leadership coaching
Whether you are a government department, NGO, educational institution, or private company, this tool meets you where you are—whether you’re just noticing something is “off,” or are ready to invest in culture recalibration.
When to Use C-GIPS 2025:
- Team cohesion is slipping, but no one’s talking about it
- Generational or cultural friction is impacting collaboration
- You need fast, low-barrier insight to inform deeper organizational changes.
- You want a professional-grade scan without the cost of large-scale assessments
If you’re sensing quiet disconnects in your team or organization, this tool can help surface what’s been difficult to name—and give you a starting point for real change.
