Want an agile, self-sustaining and successful organization? Make the culture conversation a must-have item on your leadership agenda
Culture is the essence of how your people interact and work—it’s how things get done. For most organizations, it can be elusively complex, difficult to manage and hard to change. There is a way forward that harnesses culture to unleash the potential of your people and organization.
According to our research and observations and in collaboration with the Katzenbach Center, the institute for culture, leadership and teaming at Strategy&, this is true for dozens of enterprises, including some of the most successful businesses in the world.

PwC’s 2021 Global Culture Survey
Get the latest insights on where organizational culture is headed
For the past 25 years, the Katzenbach Center, the institute for culture, leadership and teaming at Strategy&, PwC’s strategy consulting group, has been studying the influence of culture on business success. This year we surveyed 3,200 participants to reflect on their experiences during the COVID-19 crisis. The results show that for some organizations culture was the hero of their pandemic story. While we’re moving toward a post-pandemic world in the U.S., business leaders can glean insights by looking back at the lessons learned.
