Strategic planning now demands the discipline to imagine multiple futures before choosing a path. In volatile markets, fixed plans fall short; grounding strategy in Purpose and Vision keeps decisions, investments and priorities aligned, even as conditions change.

Winning in disruptive times starts with Culture
Unatributed
September 16, 2025
Organizational culture is a strategic asset, not a collection of perks or posters on a wall. It grows from shared purpose, is embedded in the operating model, and shows up in how people work and collaborate every day. When culture is intentionally designed and reinforced, it becomes a durable source of performance and resilience.

Leading without a playbook starts with Vision
Unatributed

In moments of uncertainty, speed without direction creates fragmentation. A clear vision aligns decisions, investments and imagination around a shared future. When old strategies no longer apply, vision becomes the anchor that helps leaders create the path forward rather than chase it.

Don’t ignore your pre-turnover population
Unatributed
November 9, 2021
Retention has emerged as a defining leadership challenge in the Great Resignation. High-performing employees may still be delivering results while quietly reconsidering their future. Recognizing and engaging this pre-turnover population helps leaders strengthen commitment, build trust and learn before valued talent walks out the door.

Values: From corporate fluff to strategic asset
Unatributed
October 19, 2021
Nearly every organization has a set of stated values, yet few use them as a true strategic asset. Too often, values become generic and interchangeable, guiding behavior in theory but not in practice. This article explores how values can move beyond “corporate fluff” to become distinctive, actionable commitments that shape decisions, culture, and long-term impact.

The negative space of culture
Unatributed
January 13, 2026
Culture is not defined by values statements alone, but by the boundaries leaders enforce under pressure. Drawing on the idea of negative space, this article explores how culture is shaped by what leaders tolerate, interrupt, and protect—and why clarity at the edges matters more than aspiration at the center.
