INNOVATION ROOTS announces a Okaloa Flowlab workshop with Patrick Steyaert on 23  September, 2018. Patrick Steyaert is a founder and principal coach and trainer at Okaloa. He helps organisations to innovate and change. He works with customers ranging from high-tech SMEs to large incumbent companies. He is an expert in Lean and Agile with practical experience in both software, IT, and technology businesses as well as non-IT (logistics management, HR, …)

This one-day workshop help participants to explore the foundations of flow, collaboration and learning, and how they relate to each other. Okaloa Flowlab instils new ways of thinking not just doing. From the bottom up, this new mindset inspires action, not just talk. Specifically, Okaloa Flowlab allows participants to experience a new way of thinking that is sticky or even contagious as it spreads across a network of Agile Practitioners and ultimately building bridges between all levels and functions across the entire organisation.

Participants will learn to use integrative thinking to resolve the perceived conflict between agility and predictability, flow- and resource-efficiency, commitment and engagement. Also, participants will discover the foundation for team, business and organisational agility.

Long-Term Orientation | Glossary

Definition:

Geert Hofstede a Dutch social psychologist developed concepts of short team and long term orientation. Long-term orientation is one of the five cultural dimensions which are individualism, masculinity, uncertainty avoidance index and power distance.  

Longterm orientation is when you are focused on the future. You are willing to delay shortterm material or social success or even shortterm emotional gratification in order to prepare for the future. If you have this cultural perspective, you value persistence, perseverance, saving and being able to adapt.
