Organisational culture is the shared beliefs, norms and values ​​within an organization. It is the basis for developing strategy in a company. For a strategy within a business to be developed and implemented successfully, it must fully align with the organizational culture.

Therefore, initiatives and goals must be based on the organisational culture of your company to support and establish the core values of your business. Here are three advantages as to why having an organisational culture promotes the implementation of your business strategy.

 

Flexibility

Organisations that are flexible are more likely to invite change and the working environment remains open to production and communication. This allows for a model that helps clarify the implementation of the strategy. It’s a great way to unify employees and creates a set of common norms or rules within an organisation that employees follow.

Stability

A stable culture is one that fosters a culture of partnership, unity, teamwork, and cooperation among employees. This systematically supports the implementation of strategies. This type of corporate culture will enhance employee engagement and focus on productivity within the organisation rather than resistance to rules and regulations.

Common goals

Flexible, strong and unified cultures will tackle strategy implementation positively when aligning goals. Goals can be aligned when organisational culture works to focus on productivity and achieving the organisation’s primary mission. This may include delivering products to customers on time, shipping more products than the organisation’s primary competitor, or similar objectives. A domino effect will occur, making each individual in your business aware of the common goal. This allows the culture to align with the implementation of the strategy at the most basic level.

 

When culture aligns with strategy implementation, an organisation is able to operate more efficiently. The culture allows employees to work individually and as teams to develop strategic initiatives within the business.
