"Culture eats strategy for breakfast."
- Peter Drucker, 2006
What does that mean?
Without a well defined culture, strategies lack relevance.
In other words, no matter how robust you believe your strategy is, deployment will be awkward and face many implementation barriers.
Internal stakeholders need to have a common view of that preferred operating culture which is foundational to the strategy.

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 which is part of that foundational component of strategy that answers the question “WHY” we do what we do. The articulation/clarification of the preferred operating culture is usually the first step in “operationalizing” the strategy.

Can culture evolve organically?
Yes, but you might not like what you end up with.

Should you focus on culture
shaping or culture creation?
Watch the video in the left to see how a few simple habits can make a difference
As previously indicated, whether you like it or not, your organization has a culture today, it’s already been created.
You are shaping the culture you have, to be the culture you want. Shaping a memorable, engaging and compelling operating culture is a cornerstone to a sustainable future.

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.
This can manifest itself into a culture of blame and a lack of engagement.
