Cultural Audit

The Cultural Audit is a discreet Third-Party-Objective-Observation service provided by Holsinger’s The John Galt Group for evaluating and predicting behavior trends in particular geographies.

Places have personalities, whether they be neighborhoods or nations. These are the beliefs and values undergirding attitudes leading to behavior. The Cultural Audit is a means of discovering this often hidden character of a place.

The Cultural Audit is a two-layer work of artifact development. Layer One is for Public dissemination and can include Still Photos, Documentary Shorts, Podcast, Publishable Stories and Books. Layer Two is for Internal dissemination and can include Analysis, Asset development, Site Evaluations and Corporate Reporting.

Unlike other information development services, Holsinger and The John Galt Group remain fully autonomous. We are true-to-life Auditors and retain total control over our collection and evaluation services in order to guarantee the Truth and Reliability of our reporting. We do not stage or manipulate digital material and we labor to find the truth for our clients.

Most important is our methodology. We do not conduct hit-and-run interviews. We embed, often over months and sometimes years, in order to glean the most valuable insight. Holsinger has embedded with Warlords, Gang members, Nomadic Shepherds, Socialites, and Fishermen in order to bring back the truth of a place.

Past Clients include: Office of the Prime Minister, Republic of Haiti; Office of the Foreign Minister, Republic of Kosovo; Political Affairs Section, MINUSTAH (UN Stabilization Force in Haiti); Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, U.S. State Department; Transnational Medical NGO (Nicaragua)/US AID, U.S. State Department.
