Culture eats strategy for breakfast, Peter Drucker said many years ago. And then some thinkers added that it eats strategy for lunch and dinner as well. Unless you have prepared your organization with the right cultural enablers, your strategy will fall flat and never become realized.

Lots of psychology research shows that our beliefs frame our perception and cause us to notice things we are primed for and ignore the 99% that we are exposed to but we never become consciously aware of.
