Organisational culture explained

The culture of an organisation drives the way the organisation conducts business and delivers its strategy. Every organisation has a culture, and sub-cultures in each team, department, function, and region they operate, whether intentionally or unintentionally developed. Culture has the powerful ability to affect how people do their jobs, how decisions about quality, compliance, and other critical concerns are made; and how the organisation is perceived both internally and externally.

Why is auditing an organisation’s culture necessary?

In the last decades, various corporate scandals and failures, have been attributed to flaws in their organisational culture. That’s why organisations should conduct regular assessments of the status of their culture, and board members have a duty of care to ensure that the adequate culture is in place enabling decisions to be made in line with the organisation’s values and mission.
