"Building a Winning Culture"
Culture eats strategy for breakfast, the famous saying goes. In this session, we will share insight as to how to co-develop a strong culture as a key sustainable enabler to company strategy. We go further by describing the behaviours that have supported our positive cultural transformation, as well as the actionable principles and practices guiding the roll-out and ensuring that it stays alive and is co-owned by the whole organization, not only by top management.
