In six words, corporate culture is "How we do things around here."

Corporate culture is the collective behavior of people using common corporate vision, goals, shared values, beliefs, habits, working language, systems, and symbols. It is interwoven with processes, technologies, learning and significant events. Cultural statements become operationalized when executives articulate and publish the values of their firm which provide patterns for how employees should behave. Firms with strong cultures achieve higher results because employees sustain focus both on what to do and how to do it.

Leading Systemic Innovation

 

Innovation is the key driver of competitive advantage, growth, and profitability. Today, innovation is systemic. It arises from complex interactions between many individuals, organizations and their operating environment. Firms which are successful in realizing the full returns from their technologies and innovations are able to match their technological developments with complementary expertise in other areas of their business, such as manufacturing, distribution, human resources, marketing, and customer service.

There are many parts of the whole field of innovation: strategy innovation, new product development, creative approaches to problem solving, idea management, suggestion systems, etc. Though all of these components are important, in the new era of systemic innovation, you must design your firm's innovation process holistically. Innovation is not divisible – ‘good in parts’ is no good at all. Innovation systems are only as strong as their weakest links... More
