Hello,
I am Joseph from Kenya and i am so happy to have chosen this course. i have learned a lot about the importance of developing team work at place of work, having a good organization values.
looking forward to module 2

Hello Joseph. Im from Lenya too. I have learnt about the importance of values in any non profit . With the right values you will be able to hire people that have the same values and in the end having an impact in the world as a whole.

Let the values grow organically 😊 Just like water flowing into the shape of an unknown vessel... when the water fills that vessel will we get to see the bigger picture .

Preparing Mission to Value Chart was very good exercise and it provided food for thought and new insight for looking at values in a different way.

@Cmnyarangi said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

Hi @Tenying thanks for sharing your thoughts! What is the culture like at your organization? Do you have best practices you’d like to share here?

We are a very small organization. We are a group of friends who support each other. When a team member comes up with a project idea we discuss and support the idea and work together by making it possible.

We are at the beginning of our organization and I found Module 1 great for giving guidelines on how we can proceed from here. It was great not to feel overly pressured into developing culture and values right NOW, as it can be a natural process, as shown.

That's awesome @Tenying ,what are some the projects have you worked on ?and what are some of the tips have you learnt on this module that you feel will help transform your organisation culture and values?

@toniaedwin said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

This course, has broaden my understanding of the employees importance to an organisation. ' Your brand evangelist, are your employee" this really got me, seeing that the success of an organisation is majorly tied to the employee.
I use to think that values are merely what drives an organisation, but now i know it not only drives, but also determines its success or failure.

@Mikay said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

I have learned that the defined values of an organization should not only be known to its employees but brought those values to life of employees on a daily basis.
Also, help the employees think like an owner or founder. :)

True about this @Mikay . The values should be brought life to the employees on a daily basis, thereby it becomes a custom.

Your brand evangelist are your employees,so if you have a weak culture you have a weak brand really got me.
Now I know better and now understand the value of investing in the employees.

Great I completely agree with your submission because I shared the same view

It was awesome identifying and then make them go from 15 - 17 values to less than 4.

This course is wow! I got so many insight first module. One of it is that effectiveness come as a result of team work as no man is an island of knowledge.
Also in employing people, the mission and values of the organization should be of paramount importance to the employer because that will in turn help to build a strong culture and brand.
And finally the experiences shared by New Story Charity, Acumen and Amal Academy were really inspiring.

@abidemianimashaun91 said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

I learned how to connect organisational values with missions of the organisation and how the mission help guide team behaviour in shaping organisational culture and achieving organisational goal.

Exactly. How mission can be broken down to values and then to the culture of the organisation in which every one in that organization behaves in a certain way to make a brand. That connection got me thinking.

Now I understand that the bedrock of a successful organization lies under the effectiveness of understanding the mission and core value of the organization.
My questions is how can we embody the value into our employees?

Now I understand that the bedrock of a successful organization lies under the effectiveness of understanding the mission and core value of the organization.
My questions is how can we embody the value into our employees?

It might seem a hard nut to crack. Let me cite an example, I went to an organization on Monday 27th May, on the wall was a frame "21 Rules of Safety" now what caught my attention was the fact that the staff have to recite it every morning before the day starts. Now if they keep reciting it, it then becomes a custom and it will be embeded in their subconscious mind.

If employees are constantly reminded of the culture and values, they will never forget but get in line.

@olamilekanadewole said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

Are values answering the why of your business?

Corporate values often come from a historical perspective of your business. This can include how your business was started and why it is so important to continue. Employees should easily be able to tell from your values the WHY of what they do every day. If they don’t relate, it’s time to make some updates.
Are employees engaged with your corporate vision?

Oftentimes, a vision statement can seem very obtuse to employees who do not understand how they fit into the bigger picture. It is important to know if your employees are actively engaged with what you are trying to accomplish as an organization. This should be clear from their behaviors and actions.

That is another point of view at this hour of the day 22 PM UY Time!

Hello everyone!
I learnt that values and cultures are very important while establishing an organization. With this, you know the aim and objectives of establishing your organization.
Thanks

I learnt that allowing values to emerge (participatory approach) from a shared vision can be much more effective and stimulating than having them crafted (unilaterally) by the leader/s, because this allows team members time to clarify their interest and expectations thus making the organization more stable over the long run.
After you contribute, make sure to browse what others have shared and leave a comment if you are inspired or intrigued. Feel free to simply ask questions to learn more as well.

I can identify with what Chelley is saying - the organizations i worked with (i am retired now) had written values and a touted culture, however having listened to the videos and studied the readings it is clear that culture is deeper than what is on paper and can be harder to define that we would wish to admit. This makes it important for the organization to craft a clear mission and allow the innate values of the team to rise to the surface so that the true intents and purposes will be distilled into a viable and sustainable mission.

I still haven't started the organization, although this course has helped me to understand what to do for this have success. I'm very thankfull for doing this and I hope soon put all the ideas into practice.

I have learnt the importance of investing in human capital in an organisation. In addition,is that success of an organisation is to a larger extent determined by how well is it rooted to its mission and core values. I have also gathered ideas of how one can regularly check in with employees to get a pulse on the organisational health, and also identify places where human capital strategy might need to be applied more intentionally. Also is that developing an organisation requires a collaboration with all relevant stakeholders.

On this Module 1,
Have being able to learned and again a new insights on how "Core Values" as developed our organization culture in order to achieve our stated mission.

@dietoaustine said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

wow! That is true!

Dear All,
Greetings!
I am very happy to be a part of this great course ' Human Capital Strategy'

To build high performance team, it is very important to have a clear vision and mission. This course is unique in itself. The best part of the Module 1, that I liked is the case based understanding on Human Capital.

Three most liked and learned objectives are:

1. Human Capital is not about investing big amount of Money but, it requires time, right planning, and purposefulness.
2. Team-Together everyone achieves more, can only be possible if everyone in the organization is rooted with the vision and mission of the company.
3. Culture is the most significant factor of Human Capital Strategy. All successful organizations have a culture to follow and practice.

I learned that the quality of my team will determine the output of my organization. I also realised the vital role of value system, internal culture and a clear mission. When all these are in sync I am on my way to making real social impact.

Bravo! Your clear points stated is an indication you got the lesson. Congratulations. I trust with these insight we will make a difference in our communities.

THE importace of values

I find it particularly exciting to combine the internal and external perspectives. It gives the values more substance and the opportunity for employees to link their work directly with the values. This gives life to both the vision and the mission.

I have learnt the steps to creating an organisation structure based on culture creation and core values,mission statements.These identify you from the rest of the world and that every new employee must follow for growth.

To be honest, I'm very surprised how easy it is to come up with an organization's mission Statement and the core values.

Hello,
I am Kpepime from Nigeria and I am glad I have chosen this course as I have learnt a lot

The most surprising thing I have learnt in Module 1 is the meaning of culture and branding as far as an organisation is concerned.

Knowing the difference between the two and their importance would help one strategise and strategise well.

Module 1: has served as great eye opener to me. Because I have come to understand that for organization to thrive and achieve its goals and objectives there is need for core values and culture that eventually transcend into mission and vision of the organization.
There's need for staff development through training and retraining to withstand business and environmental dynamics and to be able to impact effectively in the organization's growth.

There must be balance in employees goals and of the organization.
For you to build a strong/ human capital strategy does not requires a large amount of finance, it requires consistency.

@LawrenceKariuki said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

To be honest, I'm very surprised how easy it is to come up with an organization's mission Statement and the core values.

Yes that's why training and education is important for employees in an organization Knowing makes things easier.

Dear Instructor,
The module was very enlightening and clear in all material sense.

Sincerely Yours

I think the biggest eye opener for me is that how culture and values actually go hand in hand. It is something we assume or take for granted and not necessarily always pay attention to, yet it is a vital part of your successful existence...

@UrsulaPritz said in Module 1: Culture and Values:

Absolutely, combining both internal and external values brings out a very exciting linkages.
It ensures the values are owned and believed by all and sundry within an organisation.

It's highly important to keep the mission statement of the the organization clear to all times as you engage in different activities

what I have learned most important in settings values according to our mission, that enables our employees to remember and work with them on daily basis. To keep a constant monitoring in order to move forwards and evaluate possible solutions to keep up to date

That creating a mission statement is not as hard as I thought as long as you believe in the work you are doing.

The most surprising thing i learnt in module I was how crucial it is for an organization to have its mission and values aligned and to articulate them in a way that the employees can embody them!!

Please keep your views coming ok. We need them....!

This course has made me understand that the need to make organization members understand the organization's vision, mission and values cannot be overemphasized as it plays a very vital role in overall success and sustainability of the organization.

It is clear from this course that the mission and values of an organisation have direct relationship with the output of its staff and the eventual performance of the organisation. As such an organisations mission must be intentional and relatable to its values.

Hello.
I have learnt that deciding together and sharing values with others is a way to make the organization becoming a family. And acting as a family with the same goal is the best way to achieve it faster and easily, and to improve ourselves through a common culture.

@Guscar, all organizations being in public, private or NGO, have an corporate image/responsibility which is enshrined in it mission and vision as reason for it's existence. Thus, all organization be in large, medium or small in size have a culture and values that portrays it's image. You organization has practices and what it anchors on as values. Is like a name tag on a staff which is seen known as organizational profile in common sense.

You are rather less conscious or over conscious of it in your organization.

In this Module, I've been able to understand that your team is as important as the funding. If you have a good funding but a bad team, it's not gonna work out fine.
Also, culture is important as we need to set/create a culture within our organization and set achievable values, visions and goals and as well work towards achieving them.

@Oladseg, thanks for sharing your thoughts so far. Though, in this your ideal organization, what are some of these cultural values do you think/feel your organization need to create/set or is already in inexistence to help/ already helping your organization to achieve her visions or goals?

For me, actually narrowing down our values in way that aligns with your team and mission help in understanding who is a good fit to work with you or who is not. Key thing is making sure a potential new team member or even current team members embody the same values in your organization. In too many cases some people just aren't a good fit and create conflict that impacts the organization in a bad way.

Have learnt a lot about the course on how one is bring in the team work for the best perspective of all the organisation and how to delegate the subordinates well
Thanks

I learnt that creating a visualization is actually easy.

We have done quite a lot of work on establishing our mission and guiding principles and values for our work, but we actually have never connected them to the culture in the organization. It was an interesting to see that both of them need to correlate for the organization to be honest and authentic.

Let me start by giving response to the second statement.
"What I meant by 'widening my horizon in the aspect of human partnership and workshop', I really mean to say the type of people who work with me in my organization in order to achieve my goals and mission. bringing in people as part of an organization needs to be look into critically in order to get the best and right people for the job and as well those who are a bit divers can be trained and blend into a better coworker or co-founder.
Initially, I felt the founder of an organization is only eligible to the vision and mission of the organization. I felt the vision and mission is to actualized by only the founder thereby sidelining other members of the organization.
With what I had learnt in this module my perspective has changed.

To the first question which is the culture of my organization.

1. Educating parents on the importance of western education
2. Bringing to the knowledge of junior secondary students the importance of all subjects as some students sideline some certain subjects
3. Internalization of local language without the lost of the international languages

Hello,
I am Bushra Rana from Pakistan and I am glad I have chosen this course as I feel already enriched and inspired.

The most surprising thing I have kept in mind is the fact of getting the feedback of those who would leave our organization, thing that neither me nor my organization have done before. As long as the values and mission are concerned, I believe the values are the pavement that leads us toward the materialization of our mission hence the importance of choosing them very accurately and carefully and taking due time to do so.

Bushra Rana
Motivational Speaker

Values are cultural and context specific. But for nonprofits, the values might differ in words but some cry the same meaning. Nonprofits are established to change the lives of the affected communities and groups. That desire should at all times be driven by passion. We should also keep recognisance of the fact that other have worked in the communities where they want to operate and have folded up. Thus there must be trust and honesty in all what we intend to do.

Hello,
I am Bushra Rana from Pakistan and I am glad I have chosen this course as I feel already enriched and inspired.

The most surprising thing I have kept in mind is the fact of getting the feedback of those who would leave our organization, thing that neither me nor my organization have done before. As long as the values and mission are concerned, I believe the values are the pavement that leads us toward the materialization of our mission hence the importance of choosing them very accurately and carefully and taking due time to do so.

Hi @bushrarana777, thanks for sharing your thoughts! What is the culture like at your organization? Do you have best practices you’d like to share here?”.

I discovered just how well our company operations are aligned to our core values and mission

I learnt that for an Organization to achieve success, their values must be in line with their mission .

Hi I am Peric and this course has greatly enriched my understanding of creating an organization or a business. I have made key marks to the fact that the mission and vision of the organization is the preliminary road map of any organization and the values we use to make the foundation are the ones that will convert our ideas and vision into success.
I can't wait to keep learning more .

The most surprising thing I learned in Module 1 was how to brainstorm a core value.

I am thrilled by the knowledge of how I can connect the organisational mission with its values for social change

I have learned a lot that culture can really shape the organization. it all depends on how the organization lives the value that they have created for its success. Culture demonstrate to the public that, this is “the way things are done around here”—is often beneficial to organizations. Culture reinforces itself- it is the Organization DNA

I have learned that there is a connection between the vision,mission and objectives of an organisation and in order to achieve the mission there are values that an individual need to embody.

We have a culture of continual never ending self improvement drive. We believe every team member must LEARN, UNLEARN and RELEARN. As older team members develop themselves they get involved in training new ones while.
Our best practices includes honoring customers/target audience. We endeavor to treat them the best way we can since we are operating only because of them!

The most surprising thing for me to learn was that your org values should not just be the ones that you and the team holds close at the moment but it should be a good balance of what you aspire towards as well.

Module 1 of this course has broadened my knowledge of the importance developing mission and their corresponding values. Both the mission and values are what makes an organization to be able to achieve its goals, and the calibre of team members you bring on board to realize the dream.

All organization should have a cultural value

one need to work as a team team with your employees

Train them and give them exactly the result you are expecting

Staff should be trained about the values, mission and vision of the Organisation

HOW HUMAN RESOURCE STRATEGY CAN UPLIFT AN ORGANIZATION

I have a better understanding of the value of recruitment process and culture to the success of an organization.

Apart from being a very interactive section , I now have a better understanding of mission and value statement and how they interplay to propel employees towards achieving the organization goals and objectives.
