Due to their systemic approach, Systemic Management Audits represent a paradigm shift in the understanding of management and auditing when compared to traditional forms of management audits.
Conventional audits tend to focus on the manager as a person. But from a systemic perspective, the success of management depends not only on the managers involved but also on the complex system within which managers act and also create at the same time. The subject of Systemic Management Audits, therefore, is the manager as a person, the management team, the management system and the management context.
Furthermore, the Systemic Audit is not conducted by external consultants but rather by the managers involved, who audit themselves. Hereby, both the acceptance and the impact of the overall audit are increased. This self-auditing takes place in the form of interviews or workshops, guided by a process facilitator.
