Developing Your Enterprise 4.0 –
What has Organisation Culture Got To Do With It?
WEWORK 22 CROSS ST, 22 CROSS STREET, 2ND FLOOR SINGAPORE 048421
If we were to define Enterprise 4.0 as the next generation enterprise that can successfully scale up in operation and scale out beyond its place of origin in a fast-evolving business environment characterised by greater complexity, ambiguity and unpredictability, what role does organisation culture play? Would the adage of “culture eats strategy for breakfast” still apply? What can leaders do to ready themselves and teams to navigate into the future?
