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.
