Changing a problem culture to create better alignment with strategy involves altering the company's strategic vision and/or its strategic and financial objectives. However, it may not necessarily involve replacing managers or using compensation incentives as those are more tactical solutions to implement the cultural change. Additionally, using company gatherings and ceremonial occasions to praise individuals and groups that display the desired new cultural traits and behaviors, as well as both symbolic and substantive actions by executives to implant new cultural behaviors, can be effective tactics but not the overall solution.
