Why does culture matter? Recent examples from Ukraine

Organisational Culture and Values have been an important topic throughout the last several years. While at some organisations it is getting more and more recognition, at many organisations it is still met with skepticism and a lot of jokes. It is considered “soft” and not “very practical”.

Since the 24th of February, Ukraine, and the Ukrainian People are demonstrating how much Culture and Values affect our day-to-day life, our decisions, and the actions we take. We invite you to take a closer look at “Why the Culture Matters”, based on the last observations of the Ukrainian People and the Ukrainian Army.
