Argues that process becomes culture when it answers specific problems and shows measurable results, not theory. Gives concrete moves: a daily text standup to make presence and blockers visible, a shift from a few burned-out interviewers to hiring rubric and pooled allocation that raises hires from 8 to ~25 per quarter, and iterative onboarding experiments where each new hire improves the next. Emphasizes framing changes as experiments to reduce resistance.
