ale2014 - creating and growing organizational culture
DESCRIPTION
I don’t really know what an Agile Organization is. There are at least several definitions. One can say that it is all about consistent delivery and commitment to be great. Another one says it is all about constant learning, knowledge creation and knowledge sharing. Honestly, I don’t even believe that we need any formal definition. What I believe in is that we should create organizations with better management (where better means managing the system, not the people). And that starts with organizational culture. I would like to share my story, which began ten years ago when I joined my first and the only company I have ever worked for. These years let me first observe the environment, then understand and finally influence it. I want to show when and how we reached higher levels of our own organizational awareness, who and how inspired us with ideas that eventually led to successfully implemented solutions. These examples put in our context should help the audience to understand what are the benefits and obstacles in a rapid grow of the organization. I will share with the audience why the culture is so significant for the organization which begins with the group of students and reaches over 500 people on board and still wants to keep the startup atmosphere. I also would like to tell people about the importance of company’s mission, vision and values. These three elements are inextricably intertwined and they determine organization’s way of work. They are the foundations of organizational culture which influences every single employee’s life (not to mention our clients). I want to show the connection between them and strategic goals and objectives and explain how they help us to reach our long-term goal which is close to John Lewis Partnership model.TRANSCRIPT
