Improving the culture of performance
Most companies have an annual budget or strategic goal setting process but often this vital process does not achieve the expected results. An article in the Harvard Business Review shows that even in good economic conditions companies missed the potential value of their strategies by 37%, so great strategies do not always ensure great results. The golden key to linking strategy and results is by creating a culture of performance. Changing a whole corporate culture might be beyond our individual responsibilities, but changing our teams and ourselves in order to deliver better results within whichever culture we operate, is not.
