Culture? We have that in buckets!

Sometimes I wonder why we even bother.

1. Strategy without tactics is the longest path to victory.

2. Tactics without strategy is just noise before the battle.

So strategy is important, right? So important, in fact, that most companies develop a new one at least once a year. :-) Why? Because we generally forget the main adage of any social environment, be it corporate, urban, national or intimate:

Culture eats strategy for breakfast.

Don’t worry about strategy unless you’ve addressed the corporate culture already. But if Sisyphus is your idol keep rolling that stone up the hill.
