‘Strategy, culture and the board’
The world we live in is said to be changing faster than ever before. Recent months, following the pandemic, have shown how businesses have had to adapt to survive. Developments in technology and regulation, an uncertain relationship between the UK and the EU and the increasing pace of globalisation (or perhaps not depending on how the US/China trade war plays out) means that many of the boundaries that once governed the way organisations do business are changing or disappearing altogether. Whether you agree that we operate in a time of unprecedented change or not, what is consistent is that things do not stand still. They do not remain static, so what does strategy look like in these circumstances?
As Peter Drucker argues, ‘the best way to predict the future is to create it’. A board’s responsibility is to consider the firms future obligations, needs, customer responsibilities and optimise these for the benefit of the firm, its people and wider society.
