Culture & Business Strategy

The news today is rife with stories of businesses being significantly impacted by their workplace culture. We regularly hear stories about companies whose dysfunctional culture costs them significantly in earnings, legal costs, staff retention, and brand. From cross-cultural insensitivity to unintentionally exclusive planning processes, the pitfalls leaders must navigate are significant.

With any shift in business strategy, the workplace culture has to evolve to support the new strategy. As management guru Peter Drucker has said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” To remain relevant in our increasingly complex and diverse world requires maximizing an organization’s human capacity and abilities to work together towards business goals. No matter how well-developed your business strategy is, your enterprise’s culture has the power to make or break its real-world application.
