Overview
In this part of your Organizational Communication Audit, you’ll analyze how your organization communicates its identity and culture—both explicitly (through mission, messaging, and rituals) and implicitly (through language, leadership, and inclusion practices). You’ll assess how well communication reflects the organization’s values and supports belonging, trust, and ethical identity.
This assignment builds on the analyses you completed in Modules 1, 2, 3, and 4 and serves as Part 5 of your Individual Organizational Communication Audit. It extends the skills practiced in the Module 5 Discussion, where you explored how culture and identity are communicated in real organizations.
This assignment is based on Module 1, 2, 3 and 4.
So I am providing all 4 Modules assignments we submitted.
My topics for Module 5 (This week assignment)
1. Organizational Identity and Culture
2. Communication Practices
Instructions:
1. Describe Organizational Identity and Culture
Provide a concise overview of your organization’s identity and culture.
What does the organization claim to value?
How are those values expressed through communication, rituals, visuals, or language?
What symbols, stories, or recurring messages define “how things are done here”?
2. Analyze Communication Practices
Use evidence from your organization’s communication (internal messages, website, employee materials, public statements) to analyze how culture is expressed.
How do messages reflect values, assumptions, or power dynamics?
Who gets heard and who might not?
How do communication behaviors reflect inclusion, exclusion, or hierarchy?.
2 topics should be in 3-4 pages (need to include 4-5 references)
