Corporate DNA is a buzz term that is often thrown around when assessing the culture of a company. But what does it actually mean?
What is Corporate DNA?
Corporate DNA refers to the organizational and cultural makeup of a company. This typically consists of four main components: structure, decision rights, motivating factors, and information.
Why is Corporate DNA important?
The organization and cultural makeup of a company is very important to the success of any business, whether you’re a startup or large enterprise. You may be familiar with the phrase “a company is only as good as its employees.” Without a strong corporate DNA, it’s hard to create a brand voice that’s engaging to potential consumers and execute strategy that’s succinct and has the best interest of the consumer in mind.
