Culture and Strategy
Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast
Peter Drucker
The first time I saw this quote was when we were moving into our new office. The company that had occupied our offices previously was a venture backed company that had been extremely well funded…and failed. Ironic? Ah well, at least we got the benefit of very well appointed offices at the expense of some VC’s.
This pithy quote is attributed to Peter Drucker–one of the people I study carefully on my entrepreneurial journey. We are very careful of the values based culture we have created at our MicroAssist and definitely see benefit in alignment, in ease of management, in a better product. I am still trying go understand this quote by Mr. Drucker. For us Culture, Values and Strategy have to align.
