In this episode of The Strategy Catalyst Dispatch, we explore a commonly cited theme in strategic plans that rarely gets commensurate investment: culture transformation. Matt Terry, Chief Strategy Officer at Wellstar Health System, shares how Wellstar has positioned culture as a strategic pillar to make it visible, measurable, and fundable alongside other enterprise priorities. Building on Strategy Catalyst’s Strategic Plan Compendium we examine:

• How leaders are balancing culture transformation against near-term workforce needs

• Which initiatives are proving most effective at reducing turnover and showing real ROI

• How pipeline development and partnerships are being used not just to fill roles, but to reinforce culture and engagement

• Which metrics executives and boards find most credible for tracking cultural change
