There are a variety of examples of how culture can be the best ally or worst enemy to the success of a mission. There are in history important wars who have been win by exploiting the culture of the conquered people, like the Spanish conquered the Aztecs who for some reasons including culture saw in the Spanish the arrival of a God, because many elements like date of their arrival and their physical features, their horses, were consistent with his beliefs and the Aztecs had a rational fear because Quetzalcoatl had come. Another example is how you can sees even today there are still people who believe that the computers and the internet are a thing of the devil and preferring to stay away.
Perhaps now, after 110 years, Silicon Valley is itself a culture and people who currently participates in a culture is forged according to this medium in a special culture, however as recorded in the videos, since the early year has been the cultural element that has influenced to become the headquarters of technology instead of other places like Japan or Alemany may have had in that time the most prestigious universities and technology centers with the highest level.
Be sensitive to the culture in the design of a strategy is crucial. No matter how strong the intent to cause an organizational change or introduce new products and services in a market, when methods are used are indifferent to the customs, change process in the best case it will be too slow and exhausting. By contrast, good design of the strategy including the culture will shorten the time for results; will demand less energy and success will be accordingly. Our projects should consider that.
