Remove cultural barriers to implement strategy and enable change

Tens of thousands of dollars are spent to develop new strategic plans only to have them fizzle. After the pandemic, your organization will not survive another cycle of “announce the plan–then nothing changes.” Remember what Drucker said: “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” It still does! If culture is values, processes, procedures and what employees do when no one is looking, then your employee engagement survey data is where you must start in order to make changes that will enable your strategic plan to succeed.
