Reference #490: Organizational Culture and Leadership
The validity of clinically gathered data on culture has two components: factual accuracy and interpretive accuracy.
Factual accuracy can be checked by triangulating data and verifying with multiple sources.
Interpretive accuracy has three criteria:
- An independent observer should be able to observe the same cultural phenomena and interpret them the same way
- You should be able to anticipate how the organisation will handle future issues
- The members of the organisation should feel that what you have depicted makes sense
