Why CEOs Choose This Audit

CEOs do not buy culture work. They buy execution control, leadership alignment, and a system that does not drift.

This audit provides:

  • A structural reading of execution integrity — where power leaks, authority breaks, and managers create drift.

  • Early detection of strategy failure points that quietly derail performance long before metrics show it.

  • A shield for your CHRO — shifting responsibility from “culture issues” to structural misalignment.

  • A direct map of where control must be reasserted to restore pace, clarity, and accountability.

This is the tool CEOs use when they want the truth before the consequences.

What’s Included (Delivered in 2–3 Weeks)

Minimal time from your team. Maximum clarity for leadership.

1. Executive Intake (60 Minutes)

CEO, CHRO, or both. No surveys. No assistants. The real picture—not the filtered one.

2. Leadership Hesitation Map™

A structural diagram of where authority breaks down and where execution gets second-guessed.

3. Culture Risk Scorecard™

A system-based evaluation of culture’s ability to enforce strategy—grounded in your actual structure.

4. Three Cultural Failure Points

The exact execution gaps slowing momentum—and the structures or behaviors enabling them.

5. Executive Debrief

Direct. Clear. No soft language. You receive the findings, the impact, and the immediate path forward.

Optional Add-Ons

  • Org Alignment Overlay — a visual map of choke points, friction zones, and decision gaps.

  • Leadership Team Briefing — one room, no filters, complete alignment on what must change.

What This Does for Your CHRO

  • Proves the issue isn’t HR — it’s the system.

  • Ends the cycle of HR absorbing consequences for variables they cannot control.

  • Elevates HR from support function to execution architect.

  • Gives your CHRO leverage to enforce discipline, not negotiate it.

Timeline & Commitment

Delivery: 2–3 weeks
Team Time Required: ~3 hours total

You receive a structural reading of your execution system, an authority map, a drift analysis, and a CEO-ready decision framework.

This Is the First Step — Not a Nice-to-Have

Every major initiative — a reorg, a CHRO hire, a coaching program, a system rollout — depends on one question:

Is your culture structurally capable of enforcing strategy?

Most leaders discover the answer after failure.
This audit reveals it before you invest, commit, or expose yourself to the board.

It is the difference between early correction and public consequence.

The Culture Execution Audit™

**Your Strategy Isn’t Failing Because of People.

It’s Failing Because the System Can’t Enforce It.**

Every stalled strategy has a root cause.
And by the time it shows up in performance, the damage is already compounding.

This is not a workshop.
This is a forensic audit—of where power slips, authority breaks down, and execution quietly fails.

Your board will ask what went wrong.
This audit ensures you know first—and move before the failure becomes visible.
