Episode 58: Strategy, growth and transformation: Where organisations get it wrong

Jim Stevenson, CEO of the Bletchley Group, discusses the main pitfalls that organizations face when it comes to growth and transformation. He emphasises the importance of building high-performing teams and creating an environment that allows individuals to be successful. The conversation emphasises the importance of culture in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and organisational transformations. It highlights the need for cultural alignment and the potential pitfalls of neglecting culture during these processes. Josephine and Jim discuss how M&A can either enhance or destroy a company's culture, depending on how it is managed. They also stress the significance of consciously shaping and defining a company's culture, rather than accepting the existing culture. The conversation concludes with the reminder that culture is a key driver of success and should be prioritised in any business strategy.
