Series: Humanizing Products
Topic: Your org culture is affecting your product results
Your organization’s culture is affecting your innovation!
For better or for worse, there’s a direct correlation between a rules-based culture and the outcome of your product
If you consider the two extremes…
a risk averse culture requires many rounds of reviews by many stakeholders to gain alignment on the product outcome
a risk tolerant culture is open to new approaches of getting to the desired product outcome
Your consumers are not homogenous and their needs evolve
So a non-standard approach is necessary to align your product outcome to their desired results
And you need a culture that supports and encourages that
So does your culture believe in following the rules no matter what, even if you don’t achieve your objective?
Or is your culture flexible to allow you to do whatever it takes as long as you deliver the desired results?
