Culture
Source: SlideShare, How Apple Turns its Company Culture into Profit
“ We believe that we’re on the face of the Earth to make great products, and that’s not changing.
We’re constantly focusing on innovating.
We believe in the simple, not the complex.
We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products we
make, and participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution.
We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can really focus on the few that are
truly important and meaningful to us.
We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to
innovate in a way that others cannot.
And frankly, we don’t settle for anything less than excellence in every
group in the company, and we have the self-honesty to admit when
we’re wrong and the courage to change.
And I think, regardless of who is in what job, those values are so
embedded in this company that Apple will do extremely well.”
- Tim Cook, Acting Apple CEO,January 2009

Why
culture
is key?
Magic power of culture
• Culture is air with oxygen, creating energy
• Culture is water with mineral, rich, healthy
and tasty
• Culture is Intellectual Property and can not be
copied
• Culture is self sustaining and long-term effect
Broken

culture
What
culture is
the right
culture?
Strategy defines the
culture you need to
achieve strategy
Align with
strategy
Effective mobilization addresses strategy and
culture, together as one
It combines the structure and direction of top-
down strategy with the pragmatism and wisdom
of bottom-up insight.This feedback loop reduces
the resistance to change and the proactive
participation allows the strategy to be rapidly and
efficiently implemented

How to

Start at the

“Maybe an analogy is , if you think of the employees
and culture as plants growing, I’m not trying to be
the biggest plant for them to aspire to . I’m more trying
to architect the greenhouse where they can all
flourish and grow.”
-Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos
