This links to an article in April’s Harvard Business Review – here four leaders reflect on how they led major transformations, they believe that culture isn’t something you “fix.” It is about doing the right thing by putting in new processes and structures to tackle tough business challenges.
For those of you interested in Organisation Design I am currently reading a great book by Naomi Stanford – it is part of a series published by The Economist.

We leave you to reflect and review on whether your strategic model is the best for you! If you need any help we would be delighted to facilitate a review.
