Talya Finberg and Peter Hooker - experienced business and operational leaders.
We understand why culture is top of CEOs’ and Board agendas. Not only does “culture eat strategy for breakfast”, it’s the primary call-out from shareholders, regulators, media, customers and employees alike. It can also be one of the most challenging dimensions of a business to grapple with, in a world of critical, urgent issues, but it is not going away. Your Culture Strategy knows that “the soft stuff is the hardest” which is why we make it easy for you. We provide transformative advice and hands-on development experiences that really deliver business results. Improved engagement and alignment across culture, values, business strategy and operations is essential for any business serious about success.
