New access to resource related to cultural intelligence added to PMWL
11 April 2021 – Dallas, TX, USA – In case you missed it, new access to a useful previously posted resource related to cultural intelligence in project management is available in the PM World Library (PMWL). The resource titled “Culture Eats Strategy for Lunch: Assuring Your Strategy will be Digested” is an article by PMI Fellow Marge Combe published in the January 2014 edition of the PM World Journal.
According to the author’s introduction: The Rockefeller Foundation’s stellar CEO, Judith Rodin, shared with interviewer Rahim Kanani her thoughts about managing large-scale change in a Forbes online post (April 23, 2012). She observed that a great strategy for an organization is only part of the picture, noting the difficulty in executing on the strategy: “culture eats strategy for lunch”. She didn’t benignly say that culture could help or hinder a leader’s ability to execute strategy. She said that when strategy – the herald angel of change – is pitted against the policies and norms and ‘sacred cows’ that make up organizational culture, it is culture that will swallow the strategy. If the culture is risk-averse, or treats change as a management fiat, it does not bode well for successful strategy implementation.
