The founder reflects on how they have specialized in creative workplace development, built their niche in this area, and grown their team internationally over the past 3 years.
Company culture is an area that’s received more attention and focus over the years as businesses have seen and felt the power and difference it can make. In fact, in 2014 Merriam-Webster announced that “culture” was the word of the year, with more lookups than any other word. And in that same year, a global survey conducted by McKinsey & Co. found that spending time on culture was a key priority of C-Suite executives.
This is exactly why the world’s most successful companies understand that everything starts and ends with culture, and use culture as a competitive advantage. They clearly define it, effectively weave it into everything they formally and informally do, and consistently and effectively deliver against it across the entire organization. And if you want further proof of the importance of culture, just look at how many HR roles now have the word “culture” in the job title.
“Culture is the underlying fabric that holds an organization together. When the fabric is strong, groups can endure major challenges and thrive during better times. If the fabric is tattered, groups may manage to get by, but employees, projects and clients fall through the gaps.” Kevin Oakes - ‘Culture Renovation’

If you think of yourself as a change agent, or if solving conflict is a significant part of your work, you may find inspiration in the challenge that was presented to a group of experts in organizational development, how it was framed to them, and their tangible promises to meet it head on. This narrative offers highlights from the conference during which Power+Systems presented that challenge to its trainer community. Using immersive experiential exercises and a proven methodology, Power+Systems focuses on helping people see and better understand the world they operate in rather than fix people. Their goal is to enable people to build robust partnerships up, down and across the organization in ways that make them and their organizations successful.
For years, manufacturing companies have been striving towards enterprise excellence throughout their organizations utilizing the philosophy, thinking and tools of lean. There are two basic pillars of lean including continuous improvement tools, and respect for people. There has been a very strong focus on the continuous improvement tools (kaizens, value stream mapping, A3 problem solving, 5S, cells/flow, setup reduction, etc.) with very little emphasis on respect for people. Businesses struggle with understanding the skills and abilities of leadership at every level of the organization required to inspirationally lead towards excellence.
As a result of the combination of the process initiatives over the past 100 years, seven out of eight people report leaving their jobs each day feeling that they work for a company that does not care about them. People are disengaged and unenthusiastic about their work resulting in huge losses of productivity to the entire organization.
Recently, the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME), the premier not-for-profit organization dedicated to the journey of continuous improvement and enterprise excellence, invited Barry-Wehmiller to partner with them in addressing the challenges facing manufacturing today. Together they hope to lead the way in transforming manufacturing companies through adoption of people-centric leadership practices. Their vision is to ignite a manufacturing renaissance driven by people-centric leadership coupled with enterprise excellence.

2011 BLUEWIRE MEDIA
CULTURE & GLOWERS ALBUM
WHAT IS A CULTURE For many years clients have sent us “glowers” - our word for unsolicited praise or
testimonials. And our “culture” has been something central to our team at Bluewire. This
& GLOWERS ALBUM? album is a culmination of the glowers and culture statements from our team to give you an
insight into what we’re about.
For many years we’ve admired Zappos.com, the online store led by CEO Tony Hsieh. They
are famous for their legendary culture based around their 10 core values. People regularly
take tours of their Las Vegas office so they can “see” their culture for themselves. Every
year they release a Culture Book written by their ‘Zappos Family’.
Since we try to emulate companies and leaders who we like, we invite you to read the first
Bluewire Culture and Glowers Album!
All the best,
Toby Jenkins & Adam Franklin
