Dynamic Culture Audits

Here's my argument: we need to move from methods of measuring organisation culture that are static, towards methods that allow for dynamic assessment. This argument comes out of experiences where static approaches have failed to provide relevant information during the life-cycle of a change management project. 

When embarking on an organisatinal intervention project, one can normally anticipate the inclusion of a "discovery" phase as the first of the project. This is where an "as-is" assessment/audit of ­the context in which the intervention needs to take place is captured. While this important step is often dealt with as a mere step in the process, and not as a key indicator of the context and how that context may inhibit or support the broader project, I am finding a more perturbing assumption about the discovery phase made by project sponsors, managers and many facilitators.
