“Culture eats strategy for breakfast” is a famous quote attributed to the late management thinker Peter Drucker. Like most quotes from famous people, this one also needs to be treated with caution.
A quick Google search offers about 177,000 entries related to this quote, which has been adapted more than a hundred times.

Melinda Rolfs’ innovation journey began in 2014 the year her attention was first drawn to charitable giving.

And in our offices there was one of those big screen TVs with CNN on it, and I was just constantly seeing these images of people who had so little to begin with and had lost absolutely everything.” This caused her to wonder what Mastercard could do to help the organizations providing relief. After reflecting on the problem, she stepped back to get a wider view of what her company could do with the resources at its disposal.
