"Culture eats strategy for breakfast."

What does that mean?

Without a well defined culture, strategies lack relevance.

So, what is culture?

Culture encompasses the social behaviour and norms found in companies, as well as the displayed leadership, beliefs, customs, policies, capabilities, and habits of the individuals within it’s various groups.

How does culture fit with strategy?

Culture is typically the direct output of an organization’s core ideology and is part of that foundational component of strategy that answers the question “WHY we do what we do and how we do it?” It also provides the guidance on how the rest of the strategy ought to be developed.

Can culture evolve organically?

Yes, but you might not like what you end up with.

“Culture consists of the shared beliefs, values, and assumptions of a group of people who learn from one another and teach to others that their behaviours, attitudes, and perspectives are the correct ways to think, act, and feel.”

Just a cautionary note...

Watch the video in the right to see how the best of intentions can easily be misinterpreted

Sometimes, even with the best of intentions,  confusion can be created and disconnection  with the front line can occur.
