People & Culture

Shaping a competitive corporate culture

What is People & Culture?

Culture eats strategy for breakfast, Peter Drucker famously said.

This risk of having your strategy devoured by your culture is minimized by consciously working with both culture and strategy in parallel and in harmony.

Know your brand, grow your business. This is Expresso's mantra, since the better your company knows its market, its customers, its competitors, its corporate culture, and macro trends, the better equipped it is to succeed.

Expresso defines corporate culture as the set of attitudes, behaviours and rules or guidelines that exist within a company, which through its employees make an impact on the interface between the company and the outside world.

To achieve your desired position in the market, it is crucial to form a picture of your desired corporate culture. Once strategic choices have been made, we initiate the work of shaping and refining a culture that can become the basis for the company to move towards its desired position. A shift must take place so that the gap between the current (prevailing) and desired corporate culture can be narrowed.

A strategy document that clearly describes your company’s route to its desired corporate culture and the core values supporting the journey towards your next strategic horizon.

Based on where your business stands today, we define your desired corporate culture and provide a gap analysis to identify the necessary changes to ensure that you shape your corporate culture for success.

We express this in several dimensions, each of which gives a clear indication of where you need to strengthen the corporate culture to reach your desired position in the market. Thereby we enable your corporate culture to contribute to achieving set business goals.
