g-f(2)403 THE BIG PICTURE OF THE DIGITAL AGE (8/1/2021), Forbes, Better Than Values: Mandatory Principles




ULTRA-condensed knowledge


Series: Creating a universal digital culture for the new world

Opportunity, Mandatory principles as the DNA of the organization, Forbes
  • The defects of values, which considerably reduce their usefulness and, above all, their respect, can be corrected by the use of a well-thought-out charter of mandatory principles, complemented by a mechanism to ensure that they are respected.
  • Experience shows that it usually takes less than a dozen to define an organization's culture. 
Lesson learned, Values suffer from flaws that weaken their relevance
  • Even if they are well-intentioned, values charters are rarely lived out on a daily basis.
  • The first flaws is that they are more behavioral injunctions than true values that confer, as in the constitution of a state, duties and rights to which everyone can lay claim.
  • The second flaw  is that values are perceived as wishful thinking by management, HR and communication managers.
  • The third flaw is their interpretation. In an attempt to be synthetic, their authors try to reduce things to one or two words that cover as many things as possible. This synthetic but abstract result opens the door to different interpretations (i.e., integrity for some is not understood in the same way by others).
                  Opportunity, Avoiding The Shortcomings Of Values
                  • The wisdom of the ancients invites us to replace such abstract concepts as values with mandatory principles that everyone must imperatively respect.
                  Opportunity, To Enforce The Mandatory Charter
                  • By replacing values with mandatory principles that create both rights and duties, we avoid two of the above-mentioned shortcomings: falling into the trap of behavioral injunctions and the interpretation of very abstract notions.
                  • The third issue is that of respecting the mandatory principles.
                  • To avoid this, it is simply necessary to provide a mechanism that plays the role of guardian of the temple of the mandatory principles.
                  • Depending on the culture of each organization, different solutions, always tailored to the needs of the organization, can be envisaged.
