experience to companies seeking to ‘open up their cultural operating system’
to become more creative and innovative
My talk at Ignite Shanghai, May 2010 — "How to Build an Epic Startup Culture", featuring some of the lessons we've learned in Baltimore: The Startup Capital of the World!
Designing and Building Culture at a Startup: Three Key Elements to Keep in MindRishi Dean
These slides were used for a talk I gave to MBA students at the Carroll School of Management at Boston College, in the "Managing People in Organizations" class. The lecture was on culture, and my task was to provide them with the perspective of creating a culture at a startup, and the unique challenges that come with that along the way. I gave them a little framework, called the "Three Ps", to help the think about the key issues in culture creation. The bottom line here is that culture matters, and at a startup its especially hard to create and maintain.
The essential building blocks of culture.
This was based on a talk developed by myself and Dave Duarte.
I expect this to evolve but thought this is a share worthy version 1.0

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
