The new Culture Club: building resilience from withinJacinthe A Galpin, Chief Risk & Audit Officer, Department of Justice & Regulation

Why is culture important?

Companies with unsupportive

cultures and poor strategic

alignment underperform.

Culture is fabric. It is built up brick

by brick, over time, with

consistency, patience and

process.

Culture trumps strategy and leadership. A strategy only

works when it is supported by the

culture.

Organisational success comes, in

part, from recognising the

cultural attributes needed to succeed.
