The Power of Culture
We have explored the way in which culture affects our social norms and the underlying tensions it can create – whether that be in brands, business, politics or society. If we don’t focus in on culture, how can we expect our communications to be effective, our brands to have salience, or our policies to be attuned to people’s true beliefs and behaviours? Our latest paper showcases some practical solutions to building cultural understanding, sharing examples from business and government which have led to more culturally relevant, impactful outcomes.
