If the Shoe Fits: Visualize Your Culture
by Miki SaxonA Friday series exploring Startups and the people who make them go. Read all If the Shoe Fits posts here
Yesterday we talked about open communications and how powerful it is when part of cultural DNA.
Visual communication was recommended, with the caveat, “processes and information that can not be represented visually are probably too convoluted and bureaucratic.”
XPLANE’s Dave Gray seems to agree.
Every company has a culture, but it can take time to learn, and the stated culture can often differ significantly from what people actually experience.
At XPLANE we have created a visual map of our culture, to guide our teams in daily decision making and help them make choices that are consistent with what we stand for and who we want to be.
Smart; very smart.
What does your culture look like?
