"Culture eats strategy for breakfast."

Peter Drucker

Create the culture to deliver long-term results.

Whether your organization's culture is healthy or unhealthy, strong or weak, it's palpable. 

Employees feed off it, customers and stakeholders feel it, competitors sense it, and investors buy into it.

Healthy, positive, cohesive cultures create successful organizations. Employees are evangelical and engaged in the work they do and the organization they work for. People are clear about the role they play, how to get things done, and how to behave. They feel engaged, safe, trusted, and empowered, and talent attraction and retention are radically improved.

Clients, customers and stakeholders know what the organization stands for, how they're going to be treated, and what they can expect: They trust it.

In commercial environments, competitors are stumped by a strong, healthy culture because, unlike products, pricing, and other well-known strategies, they can't replicate or reproduce it.

 

In the public sector strong, healthy culture breeds efficiency, pride, and a strong organizational voice

 

Positive culture has been shown to promote investment in people, clear ethical standards, good behaviour at the top, and high levels of accountability.

Despite well-documented proof that culture is vital for short and long-term success, many leaders turn to more traditional approaches to fix performance long before they ask the question "Do you think it could be the culture?" For example, changes in strategic direction, market position, leadership, roles and responsibilities, and organizational structure are often used as attempts to remedy declining performance. In the presence of a healthy culture, all can succeed. In the presence of an unhealthy or inefficient culture, all are doomed to fail.

Science shows that a strong, healthy culture translates directly into engaged and committed employees, creativity, innovation and efficiency, loyal customers and stakeholders, and top and bottom-line results.

So how exactly can culture drive sustainable performance?

By consciously developing these critical elements:

- Engaged, evangelical, committed, cohesive workforce

- High levels of talent retention and attraction

- Exceptional behaviour, accountability, and strategic alignment from the top

- Trust from employees, customers, clients, stakeholders, and investors

The effects of intentional culture management are visible, palpable, and measurable.
