Does strategy, as many business folk say, come first which leads to success and then, ultimately, a unique culture? Or does culture trump all else as a prerequisite? It would be easy to argue either side, wouldn’t it?
Please tune in this week as Wayne facilitates this debate and shares what just might be the correct formulation.

Eric White says:
I appreciate the analogy of “culture is the landscape.” It’s what strategy is built on and needs to be mutually supportive.
Wayne Rivers says:
Agree 100%, Eric. Thank you.

Wayne:
Great video – thanks for sharing.
Culture & strategy are complimentary of each other, in my humble opinion (the handshake analogy). You must have both to be successful. The right leader of a bad plan will fail. The wrong leader of a great plan will fail as well. A leader that is laser focused on both culture and strategy can take a company into the stratosphere.
Again, thanks for sharing. Keep ’em coming!
Wayne Rivers says:
Well stated, David! Wish I could be so succinct!
