Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When a company faces disruptive changes, top executives need to figure out the causes and decide when adjustments are needed and what adjustments are needed for improved performance and operating excellence. They need to assess the situation and determine the appropriate strategy to address the changes. Knowing when to continue with the present corporate culture or shift to a different one can be a part of that assessment, but it is not the primary task. The speed of decision-making, whether to try to fix the problems or shift to a new strategy, and how to identify the problems are all secondary tasks that come after the initial assessment.
