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.

This thought piece discusses how leaders can look outside their organisations for growth opportunities through partnering and collaboration.
The psychology of decisions
However strong your other leadership attributes, if your judgment is poor, you will never be successful. Your decisions, and their impact, will shape your legacy.
Leadership theories unmasked
There are no magic bullets when it comes to leadership development. While it is important to consider new literature, ideas and debate; we shouldn’t be so diverted by the latest leadership theory that we lose sight of the fundamentals of what is important to shape a good leader.
Aligning employee experience with customer experience
Every touchpoint in the customer experience shapes customer sentiment. With employees as a crucial touchpoint, having a workforce of brand ambassadors that delivers a consistently differentiated customer experience has never been more vital.
