It’s great to see smaller businesses starting to talk about Culture. Culture is like an umbrella that sits across processes, systems and ways of doing things. Culture is the one true competitive advantage a business can have whether it is small medium or large. It can be measured and monitored. Ask us how. #thecultureadvantage # constructivecultures #leadersdriveculture

If you were to hold up a mirror to your company culture, what would you see? A culture that is supporting growth or one that is perhaps getting in the way? In our latest blog we explore the tension between culture and strategy and how you can navigate your teams through an evolution of your culture in support of your business ambitions! https://lnkd.in/e4CmNwS4

Your business is perfectly designed to deliver the results you're seeing today. Let that sink in. If you're tolerating low standards, rewarding bad behavior, or avoiding tough conversations, you can't be surprised when nothing changes. Culture is a reflection of your actions—and inactions. So, what are you doing today that's shaping the culture in your organization?

🌀 Organisational culture is dynamic and alive - it can adapt to reflect changes within the company or the environment.  🗺 Yet, navigating these changes can be challenging and companies can get lost along the way. 💡 Today, we explore signs of a neglected company culture by drawing insights from three companies. They were once industry giants but overlooked their culture, leading to their downfall in an increasingly digital market. 📝 Such past mistakes can teach us valuable lessons about the importance of cultivating a thriving culture in an ever-changing environment. #organisationalculture #culture #success #businessgrowth #change #adaptability

In our latest blog article, we explore the tension that can exist between culture and strategy and how to resolve it. Happy reading! https://lnkd.in/eJsAUPJ5

We're rounding out the last in our five-post-series about culture by discussing how you can most effectively use culture to your own strategic advantage. Our biggest takeaway is that culture is never a constant - it is continually iterating and evolving as your business grows and changes. If you use that to your advantage, it can become one of your biggest strategic tools and a differentiator to your competitors. It really is more than just bean-bags and ping-pong tables!

Understanding culture and its effect on the business really does matter. Business academic Peter Drucker once said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Big failures are often cultural. In this context, organizational culture matters to internal audit as having the right corporate culture is crucial to the sustainability and resilience of an organization. If we do not have an opinion on the effectiveness of culture, how can we truly give an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control environment? #riskculturelab #riskculture https://lnkd.in/dGK-Xy8M

Learning of the Day: Peter Drucker famously said, "Culture eats strategy for breakfast." This highlights the vital role that a company’s culture—along with its team dynamics—plays in achieving success, often outweighing even the best business strategies. A strong culture is essential not only for the customers we serve but also for the well-being of employees. Let's prioritize building a positive and resilient culture to drive sustainable success! #organizationalculture #strongculture #employeewellbeing #projectsuccess

What does your company culture look like when things get tough?    Lately, we’ve been diving deep into the topic of culture—especially with the purpose-driven organisations we work alongside. One of the most fascinating challenges they face is balancing heart (their deep care for others) with a commercial mindset that helps scale their impact. It’s a delicate dance, one that I think about often in the context of our own team at Three6. We may be smaller than many of our clients, but our culture is at the core of everything we do—it directly impacts the quality of our work.   I recently heard something that really stuck with me: “Your culture is who you are when you’re tested.” And wow, is that true. Over the last 18 months, we’ve faced some challenges, and the way our team rallied together has only reinforced our values. It’s in those moments that I see just how important culture truly is.   I’ve been reflecting on culture from a few different angles lately, and here are some of the factors we’ve been focusing on:   🧭 Shared Values and Beliefs: - A strong mission and vision give purpose and direction. - Core values guide how we behave and make decisions. 👥 Employee Experiences: - The work environment (both physical and psychological) contributes to culture. - Recognition and rewards? They go a long way in boosting morale. 🔗 Organizational Structure and Processes: - Decision-making and communication channels can either foster autonomy or create silos. 🌍 External Factors: - Industry trends, economic conditions, and societal changes are always influencing culture. We absolutely have things to improve in our culture, and it is always a process of continuous improvement, but it's definitely a part of the business that I am proud of.   So, here’s a question: What’s your company’s culture like when you’re under pressure? Are you proud of it, or is there room to grow?   Let’s chat culture—I'd love to hear your thoughts.   #Leadership #Culture #OrganisationalStrategy #Teamwork #BusinessTransformation #ContinuousImprovement
