When dealing with corporate culture change, companies usually choose among three main strategies. Every one of them has obvious benefits but often is badly implemented because the overall logic of culture change is not understood.

This will lead us in a follow up article to open a different approach more rooted in how the organisation’s DNA and its culture intertwine.
