Culture eats strategy for breakfast : 4 reasons to keep this in mind I came across this interesting conversation about that famous statement from Peter Drucker. There are tons of publications in Harvard Business Review , Forbes and other famous magazines. Here is a short contribution. Hopefully it raises interest in a topic that matters more and more nowadays. Obvious explanation is that strategy is not enough for success, we also need culture for a good execution. To me, key question remains what drives the motivation of the team. This is where conversation starts turning into something critical for #strategy and success of #brands in the 2020’s. I would suggest that culture matters even more nowadays for at least 4 reasons : - We live in a world where changes happen every morning - It requires motivated team to think ‘out of the box’ and address new challenges - Shared #purpose is an essential driver of motivation, more than ever we need continuous alignment between Company, Brand, Team and Client purpose - #culture has also become essential for successful execution because it now covers many facets of operational excellence which are key components of success, for example #datadriven culture Any other idea ?

Culture is exisiting and unavoidable phenomenon which is the synergy among the people and the one which is being created by the leadership may call as " formal culture" and the other which develop by the reaction and response of the team can called as " informal". In a way , the latter one is deep rooted and difficult to change because it is not visible most of the time. To change the informal, people has to change and this will take time. But strategy is something, which we bring in by the so called leadership to achieve " organization aspiration". One of the many ways to avoid " Culture eating strategy " is to make strategy not to fit for eat. Hence we must know the taste of the Culture - certainly " informal culture".
