Program Description:
The culture of an organization underpins its strategy and the organization's strategy needs to feed and propagate the its culture. It is imperative that leaders:
understand the value of culture in an organization
recognize how culture is the cornerstone of strategy
execute a strategic plan that works in lockstep with the culture
make the definitive connection between culture, strategy and bottom line results
A defining thread of culture, strategy and company performance runs through the WSFS story which Peggy Eddens will share. By engaging a conversation around best practices and lessons learned, it is her intention to inspire your personal growth and to benefit your organization too.
