The cost of culture, a 50% turnover of the Fortune 500

If companies were built to last, than 4 of 10, almost 50%, would still remain on the the Fortune 500 a mere 10 years later.

Sustained success has less to do with market forces than company values; less to do with competitive position than personal beliefs; less to do with resource advantages than vision. Sustained success has to do with managing culture.

Organization change without an awareness of what drives the organization’s culture may be the reason close to 90% of all projects fail. Culture is key to remain great.
