Definitions:
Lean HR, Lean OD is about driving waste and duplication out of all HR and OD practices, processes and procedures –
It is not a set of tools; it’s a paradigm rather then one single theory.
A workplace culture; defined simplistically as how we do it around here and it will ultimately determine how far an organisation can go.
A workplace culture can be formed in one of two ways. One is by piecemeal that is, bit by bit and usually in response to an incident or an accident or a personality. The other way is by design.
The best way to control the future is to invent it
Great companies are characterised by:
A clear, unambiguous and enduring mission
Certainty
Preciseness in the language used
Everybody understanding how their part fits into the grander scheme of things
Everybody understanding the bottom line impact of their actions or inactions
