Curating Culture
The phrase “culture eats strategy for breakfast”, coined last century by then management guru Peter Drucker, has never seemed more pertinent than it is today.
The Royal Commission into misconduct in the financial sector has highlighted cultural issues as foundational and fundamental driver of the behaviours it investigated. As a result, many Australian organisations are revising their approach to strategy while scrambling to reshape teams, cultures and behaviour and relearn the new rules of survival.
This white paper examines the new perspective of culture as an adaptable and evolving organism and the relationship between culture and strategy in the age of disruption. Maximus address the criticality of getting culture right and the role the leader plays as cultural curator, outlining how they can navigate their new responsibility without controlling it.
