The success of your organisation is dependent on the performance of your people. There is no success or organisation without the people.
The performance of your people is dependent on the environment you ongoingly create for them.
And the work environment is like a garden.
You have to plan it,
tend it,
nudge and fertilise,
remove encumbrances,
be patient and consistent,
care about each plant,
care about the spaces between the plants,
let it grow wilder in some places,
make sure there is enough sun, water, nutrients and bees,
monitor and adjust the soil pH,
prune with care,
intentionally enjoy the gardening,
intentionally enjoy the garden.
Here’s the thing.
A garden needs constant intentional loving work to become a prize-winning garden.
Business design and enterprise architecture are ultimately about intentionally creating the environment for your people to succeed.
