Management theorist Peter Drucker once said, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast". As businesses grapple with the short and long-term impact of COVID on the work environment, 100% remote, 100% office or somewhere in between they can expect real solutions to be few and the associated trade-offs to be many. For many organizations, their on-going ability to grow and thrive will depend on inculcation and strength of a distinct corporate culture. In this presentation, Chris Crosby, CEO of Compass Datacenters, explores the importance and impact of a strong company culture. Among the areas Chris will address are the definition and elements of a corporate culture, what it is (and isn't), and why its important. Mr. Crosby will also provide real-life examples of how cultures originate and are built and why some succeed, and others fail despite the best of intentions.
Takeaway
Attendees will learn:
- The true definition of corporate culture
- How a culture built
- There is no "one size fits all"
- How culture can be an aid to success or a contributor to failure
