Culture [ˈkʌl tʃər] : The behavior and practices that are characteristic of a particular social group or organization.
Culture - is all important!
It is the DNA of any organisation. It depicts how an organisations behaviours and practices are able to sustain performance.
Culture must be frequently assessed and actions taken to address any issues promptly. In many cases the best place to start any improvement initiatives is to take a snapshot of the prevailing culture.
At CPC, we are keen proponents of culture-driven change. As Edgar Schein warns, ‘if you don’t manage your culture it will manage you”.

Recent research shows that over 90% of C-suite executives identify culture as crucial to performance, and that improving organisational culture improves company value. And yet only 15% say their firm’s corporate culture is "where it needs to be."
Research powerhouse Gartner says, "The key differentiator that underlies organisational cultural performance is not choosing a particular culture, but rather how to get your employees to demonstrate the culture your organisation needs. To improve your culture, your organisation must shift from a people-focused culture playbook to a process-focused playbook, which can increase employee performance by 22%."
