The proven blueprint for seizing the competitive edge with smart, well-managed culture “renovation”
Most business leaders understand the power of a dynamic, positive culture―but almost every
effort to change culture fails. Why? The approach is often all wrong. Rather than attempt to
“transform” a new culture from the ground up, leaders need to instead spearhead a culture
renovation. It’s all about keeping what works, changing what needs to be changed, and
ensuring proper care and maintenance―much like refurbishing and living in a beautiful historic
home and improving its overall value.
