Targets can measure progress and KPIs can track performance, but they do not create excellence on their own. As organisations prepare for 2026, the real advantage will belong to those that understand one simple truth. Culture is the engine room of results. When people care about their work, think clearly, improve continuously and take ownership, performance follows naturally. Targets then become outcomes rather than pressure points.
This free learning resource comes from the live webinar titled The Culture Advantage: Why 2026 Needs More Than Targets and KPIs. It is designed to help leaders, managers and teams rethink how results are achieved and why culture matters more than ever in the years ahead.
The session was led by David Hutchins, a Deming Distinguished Practice Award winner who is globally recognised for achieving outstanding results using proven management principles. He was supported by Kola Olutimehin for a powerful pre Japan Study Mission masterclass. Together, they explored why the Japanese management model has lasted for over six decades and how its principles can be applied practically in organisations today.
During the session, you will gain a clearer understanding of how classical management principles shape mindset, behaviour and teamwork in everyday work. You will see where true competitive strength comes from and how to unlock the potential that already exists within your organisation. The webinar also explains why culture is often the missing link between good intentions and world class performance.
On this page, you can access the free training slides in PDF format and watch the full recorded Zoom session. These resources are shared to support your learning, reflection and practical application as you plan for 2026 and beyond. We encourage you to review the material carefully and consider how the ideas shared can strengthen your leadership, your teams and your organisational culture.
