Creating a culture strategy is important for your company at any stage. Culture influences every aspect of a startup, including team collaboration, product development, brand identity, and market success. And if you’re building a scalable product, it’s critical that you’re innovating within a durable culture.
In this workshop, we’ll explore what culture means for your team and learn ways to get started with a culture strategy.
Key learnings and takeaways:
- The foundation of a strong company culture
- Aligning your culture to your company’s mission and values
- Practical strategies for creating a culture of inclusion and collaboration
- Culture tips as your company grows
