This questionnaire analyzes the 10 ways to make culture a primary focus and how best to drive culture and strategy closer together. Strategy and culture are inextricably intertwined. Leaders rise through the ranks developing their strategic capabilities along the way, often unaware of their ability to affect the culture and use it as a strategic advantage. While strategy is self-evident, culture is mysterious. A mistake some CEOs make is thinking that culture is a secondary priority. They avoid conversations in the executive staff meetings about culture and focus on the quarterly objectives. Companies that focus on driving their culture and strategy together have an easier time aligning themselves internally to employees and externally to customers.
