DEC – Culture of Innovation The DEC culture emphasized: Creativity Freedom Responsibility Openness Commitment to truth Having fun “Culture is a complex force field that influences all of an organization’s processes. We try to manage culture but, in fact, culture manages us far more than we manage it, and it happens largely outside of awareness (p. 31).” Schein, Edgar H., et.al DEC is dead: Long live DEC – The lasting legacy of Digital Equipment Corporation. San Francisco: Berrett-Koehler.

Sutton – Weird Ideas that Work 1.Hire “Slow Learners” (of the organizational code). 1-1/2 Hire People Who Make You Uncomfortable, Even Those You Dislike. 2.Hire People You (Probably) Don’t Need 3.Use Job Interviews to Get Ideas, Not to Screen Candidates 4.Encourage People to Ignore and Defy Superiors and Peers 5.Find Some Happy People and Get them to Fight 6.Reward Success and Failure, Punish Inaction 7.Decide to Do Something That Will Probably Fail, Then Convince Yourself and Everybody Else That Success is Certain 8.Think of Some Ridiculous or Impractical Things to Do, Then Plan to Do Them. 9.Avoid, Distract, and Bore Customers, Critics, and Anyone Who Just Wants to Talk About Money 10.Don’t Try to Learn Anything from People Who Seem to Have Solved the Problems You Face. 11.Forget the Past, Especially Your Company’s Successes.
