One Day University: Corporate Culture and Strategy: How One Influences, Affects and Determines the Other

One Day University presents a series of video lectures recorded in real-time from some of the top minds in the United States. Given by award-winning professors and experts in their field, these recorded lectures dive deep into the worlds of religion, government, literature, and social justice. Corporate or organizational culture, the system of informal norms, values, beliefs, expectations, and behaviors operating in an organization, is perhaps the most powerful influence on an organization's (whether a business or a non-profit organization) strategic direction and the successful achievement of it's chosen strategy. Yet culture is poorly understood, little appreciated, and most importantly, it's significant role in enabling or constraining strategy mostly ignored. How do we begin to make sense of this key phenomenon and it's connection with an organization's strategy? In this video lecture, we will explore the phenomenon of organizational culture, from it's creation in an organization to it's evolution, and most critically, understand how organizations can work with culture to enhance the success of their strategy.
