CultureValues Actions
“Culture is the stuff people do without
noticing it.”
Henrik Kniberg (Agile Guru)
“Culture is the manifestation of the
shared values of the organization as
represented by the actions of its
members.”
Kevin Goldsmith (Spotify)

11. Continuous Learning
 Developing a Culture of Learning
 The pace of change in our market and on the
web in general forces companies to adapt
fast. To be adaptive as an organization, that
organization must intentionally engage in
Continuous Learning.
 When you learn as a team, you become more
adaptable and achieve much better results,
especially when the pace of change is fast.
Teams that learn quickly are more adaptive
than teams that don't.
Adaptive teams are teams that can get better
results, by rapid response to change.
