“Creating a culture of innovation, inclusiveness, agility, and creativity are the keys
to ensuring your organization’s success and survival in today’s turbulent global business environment.”
“John Mattone’s Cultural Transformation 3-Day Retreat Program conducted for the senior leadership team of one of our most valued clients was a major success. Senior executives were highly engaged before, during and after the Retreat due to the multi-faceted and comprehensive approach he used…combining lecture, group discussion, the results from his 5CCA culture assessment, team analysis and action-planning. For the first time we can remember, our client is leveraging what they learned through this annual retreat and are now making positive improvements to their culture and operations.”

JMG’s Typical Client
Our research indicates that most CEOs, owners and entrepreneurs appropriately focus their time and energy on creating differentiated products and services that meet market demand. What really separates the most successful, entrepreneurial CEO’s and the organization’s they lead, however, is their hyper-focus and almost maniacal passion for creating and sustaining exceptional leadership at all levels along with building a strong culture. In many respects this pursuit and passion for leadership and culture becomes the real defining pillar in their organization even more so than the products and services they sell in the marketplace.
The “best of the best” CEO’s and organizations absolutely understand, embrace, and live the belief that leadership, talent, and culture are the leading indicators to achieving and sustaining operating success. Yes, focusing on the products and services that serve a market need is important. Even more important, however, is having the right leadership and culture in place that ignites the right strategy and execution of that strategy—in support of the operating goals of the business.
WHAT IS CULTURE AND IS IT DIFFERENT THAN ENGAGEMENT?
Why is Culture Important?
Whether your organization is a “market leader” or “laggard” doesn’t matter. The need to transform never ends as all businesses are facing growing disruption from all angles. According to research by the Boston Consulting Group, 75% of business transformations flat-out fail, meaning that these organizations no longer exist or they are at risk of no longer existing. They failed in their transformation efforts because they were not as diligent as they needed to be in creating and transforming the culture in support of operating goals. The real culprit? A lack of leadership.
Speaking of bad leadership again, only 25% of organization’s who are considered “market leaders”, transform from a position of strength to sustain their position of strength, while 75% of “market leaders” currently are not engaged in positive and pre-emptive transformation efforts—which almost guarantees their eventual failure.
In a global study of over 7,000 leaders from companies in 150 countries, 86% indicated that corporate culture was very important in driving operation success; however, only 28% believe they understand their culture well and only 19% believe they have the right culture.
