Culture Shaping
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.”
– Peter Drucker, 2006
What does that mean?
No matter how robust you believe your strategy is it cannot be deployed to its fullest extent, without a shared culture. Internal stakeholders need to share a common view of the preferred culture that is aligned with the strategy.

How does Culture fit with Strategy?
Culture is a 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 behaviors, attitudes, and perspectives are the correct ways to think, act, and feel.”
