A society, culture is often overlooked by managers. Or if it is on all who are concerned about too little consequence. After all, if customer satisfaction and purchase from you is a great thing, right? However, the question is, as evidenced by the success and what is the duration of the corporate culture.
According to The Conference Board of Canada – Learning and Development Outlook 2005 Report “Only a quarter of organizations (28%) believe that risk taking is to promote and actively support. In addition, only 30% believe that the failure to debate constructive. “What does this mean for you?
I think the answer to the lack of a culture of learning and innovation in most organizations in Canada. Unless your employees are comfortable press coverage increasingly, to do what they have always done. Unfortunately, with the rapid changes in technology and competition, “they have always done” is not good enough.
The edge in a market which must be on the verge of new, innovative ideas and services. To improve the quality of your product or service, which are continually improved. So that the competition must always be on ways to improve the profit margin. This way you can, to form an economic measure for their customers and strengthen their own capacities.
The answer – the culture of your company. If your organization is a culture of risk taking, and then the improvements are a normal part of business. If your culture is one where employees are encouraged to put their ideas in the process of continuous improvement, a small but significant changes for you by default.
Ask yourself:
- When the last time was a classified employee to an extension of what they are or how they do it?
- Do employees know how to document, measure and improve their work processes?
The solution lies in creating a culture of continuous improvement, staff and management for each day / week / month / year better than the previous one. Employees learn, for improvements and are encouraged to stay longer and more effective.
