Culture: Your most valuable intangible asset

Culture is the soul of an organization. Whether it is strong or weak, it will be felt by anyone who encounters a business. It is a driver for – or can be an obstacle to – retaining employees and customers alike.
And while culture determines the way an enterprise is run, it also determines its ability to change. Executing business strategies or transformation plans will depend on an organization’s curiosity and an openness to change – which are two cultural value-drivers in today’s rapidly changing world.
Corporate culture is often the deciding factor for sustainable transformation. After all, there is no transformation without cultural transformation. Companies that understand the importance of purpose and culture are more likely to succeed in the long run. In turn, it leads to higher engagement, productivity, and retention, and creates a better working environment for everyone involved.
