PM Debate: Organization Culture and Projects

 

Peter Drucker famously said "culture eats strategy for breakfast." This episode explores the concept of organization culture and its impact on projects. We debate the question whether the aim of projects should be focused on changing culture or whether it is best to leave it alone. Philip argues that the goal of projects is to change culture while Mary Elizabeth argues that there is enough change on projects to worry about culture as well.
