Episode 8: The impact of culture when scaling an organisation with Alex McPherson featuring St Luke’s
Ignition’s very own Jake Schogger hosts a detailed discussion on how culture can have a significant impact on an organisation’s ability to scale, joined by Alex McPherson, founder of Ignition Law, featuring Alan Young and Neil Henderson, Joint Chief Creative Officer and CEO at independent creative agency St Luke’s.
In this episode, we explore the meaning of culture and values, consider how getting the culture right can benefit organisations both internally and externally, and discuss the various steps taken by St Luke’s and Ignition Law to foster strong cultures that resonate with stakeholders across the board.
Our guest, Alex McPherson, worked at Freshfields and Hogan Lovells as a corporate lawyer before founding Ignition Law in 2015. Ignition has since grown to a team of roughly 80 and is now an award-winning law firm, with strong ethics and a majority female senior leadership team. Alan Young and Neil Henderson lead St Luke’s, an independent creative agency, as Joint Chief Creative Officer and CEO respectively.
