Early Findings

Organizational Culture Impact

  • Competitive advantages that rely only on the company's product, commercial performance, and operational setups often result in short-term successes only.
  • It is difficult to stay competitive and attain continuous progress in a world where market conditions are uncertain, competitors are relentlessly threatening to gobble up a company's market share, the state of technology is highly dynamic, customers are continuously asking for more, and employee expectations are constantly changing.
  • Given this, the only competitive edge that a company can rely on that will be tough to copy is its culture.
  • A company's culture is unique to the firm and can help mold its brand positioning, increase personnel retention rates, and serves as an inspiration to its employees.
  • Businesses are now more aware of the business advantage of a solid company culture.
  • Based on the 2016 Global Human Capital Trends survey from Deloitte, 82% of the respondents consider company culture as a promising competitive advantage.
  • Companies with well-rounded company cultures were found to be more innovative than those with weaker cultures.
  • Experts consider company culture as the primary driving force of innovation in an organization.
  • Empowered employees that work for companies with favorable company cultures have been found to find new ways to solve problems better.
  • Having a solid company culture can also drive employees to work together for a common mission and have shared success metrics.
  • This can then enable firms to prosper together as one team.
  • As an example, Google is a company that is known for its great company culture.
  • The company rallies its employees around its simple mission statement:"Don't be evil."
  • The statement is being followed at the corporate level as Google tries its best to deliver as much "good" as it can.
  • Within the level of the employees, there is an expectation for them to deliver all the "good" possible at their individual roles.
  • With this, employees who embody this mission tend to keep this mantra close to their heart.
  • As a result, these employee actions are enabling the company to be on-track to achieve its vision.
