Baseline Culture Audit
Leaders come to us when progress slows or alignment starts to break down.
Something isn’t quite working the way it should.
You can feel it.
- Execution is uneven.
- Decisions don't land the same way across the team.
- Conversations circle back to the same issues.
- Progress is happening—but slower, or with more friction than expected.
On the surface, strategy is clear
But underneath, you’re starting to wonder:
- Are we actually aligned on how we’re working together?
- Is something getting in the way that we haven’t fully named?
- Are we solving the right problems—or reacting to symptoms?
You may suspect that culture is playing a role.
But it’s hard to know what’s actually happening… or how to get the team back on track.
That’s exactly where a Baseline Culture Audit can help.
The Baseline Culture Audit is designed to help you:
- see the culture clearly
- talk about it productively
- change it with intention
How the Baseline Culture Audit creates alignment
This work follows a simple progression.
Not a one-time session—
but a structured way to move from insight to alignment to sustained change.
Frame & Measure
Make culture visible
We start by creating a shared language for understanding culture—one that helps people talk about behavior without making it personal.
Using the Archetype framework, individuals and teams begin to recognize how they show up, especially under pressure or during change.
From there, we measure what’s present across three levels:
- Me — how individuals experience their role and show up
- We — how teams collaborate, communicate, and navigate tension
- Us — the broader story being reinforced through leadership and systems
This is where culture starts to come into focus.
Not as a concept—
but as something people can actually see and talk about.

Agree & Align
Build a shared understanding
This is the core of the Baseline Culture Audit.
We bring together multiple perspectives—
surveys, interviews, and facilitated team dialogue—
to build a clear Culture Profile that reflects what’s actually happening.
By the end of this phase, leaders align on three things:
- the culture they actually have today
- the culture they need to grow into
- and the gap between the two
What matters most isn’t the data.
It’s that people recognize their lived experience in the outcome—and can agree on what needs to change.
Because alignment doesn’t come from insight alone.
It comes from agreement.
Scale & Sustain
Turn alignment into lasting change
Once there’s alignment, the focus shifts to applying it.
Teams use the shared language and tools to:
- navigate tension more effectively
- reset communication when pressure rises
- reinforce the behaviors that support the culture they’re building
Rather than culture being a one-time initiative,
it becomes something teams can actively work with—day to day.
This is what allows the work to scale across the organization
and hold over time.
