Architecture – whether IT or Structural – needs to be the bedrock of Your Company’s HR
Sound construction with a solid foundation – the same principles apply when assembling homes and offices as when establishing, maintaining and building an organization’s staff and corporate culture. Starting from the ground up and putting the right pieces, both people and technology, in place is paramount to establishing a strong framework – one that’s got staying power while creating the company culture and momentum desired – in tandem.
If you want to create an extraordinarily innovative organization, “create a culture of continuous, disruptive innovation,” according to Inc’s Bill Murphy, Jr., Executive Editor in his column ‘How to Build an Extraordinarily Innovative Organization’. Surrounding yourself with creative people with a ‘David can beat Goliath’ mindset and fostering an environment of using innovative strategy to overcome seemingly superior adversary’s; will help provide the momentum to attract more professionals of that type – and keep the culture, and company, moving forward.

“There are abundant resources, talents, abilities and strengths within and around you in your organization, if you are attuned to them, and know how to bring them to the forefront. Too often these powerful resources are trapped within the rigid processes, structures and systems. These resources, if tapped, can lead to vibrant, energized people contributing at the highest levels in thriving workplaces. These are assets that can generate extraordinary performance, both individually and collectively — resources like commitment, creativity, inspiration, generosity, and integrity — authentic leadership at all levels of the organization. We call those workplaces that have learned to unlock these exceptional human resources “Positive Organizations.”
