What It Means
Company culture is no longer the sole domain of HR. It is recognized as a true business asset with increasing relevance as organizations adopt modern forms of teaming and innovation, such as Agile work methods and data-driven decision-making.
Why It Matters
An organization’s culture is its most intimate and visceral form of authenticity. It can be a powerful competitive advantage or lead to a company’s demise.
How To Get There
Enterprises seeking transformation in the face of disruption are infusing their business cultures with new tools and approaches. These are affecting everything from collaboration and decision-making to how teams are structured and deployed. Enabling this level of change calls for an enterprise-wide culture management system that is aligned with the company’s brand system and supported by the company’s CommTech platform.
