In a results-oriented culture, work is organized and evaluated by the results it drives.
In the modern knowledge economy, however, success and failure are determined by an organization’s ability to innovate. Success in this environment rests on the organization’s ability to recruit and retain highly-skilled workers, and to align their individual creativity and insight in pursuit of common goals.
An organization’s journey towards a more results-oriented culture starts with identifying the outcomes it needs to achieve.
Organizations with ‘results-driven cultures’ measure success not by input or outputs, but by what is being accomplished.
A result-oriented culture has a strong focus on the output, instead of the processes people go through to achieve that goal.
Our customer/client couldn’t care less about the how; what only matters to them is that the output they receive is of high quality, and that they receive it in a timely manner. Especially in an operating environment where it’s easy to blow budgets, clients want results that maximize their budgets and resources.
One of the things that drive a result-oriented organization and a result-oriented working culture is that both individuals and teams be able to discern or recognize when something is broken or needs improvement, or when certain processes do more to hinder progress than lead to more efficient task and or project completion.
An organisation that is result-oriented and setting clear strategic goals will help organizations get the most value from their employees as employees are more engaged where increasing personal freedom and responsibility yield increased engagement.
Employees’ task for the job with delivering an objective encourages forward thinking and a growth mind-set. Employees with clear objectives are incentivized to work efficiently in achieving them, operationalizing and optimizing their work as they go.
Leaders and decision-makers who have a result-oriented mind-set will always be asking questions such as whether or not there is enough transparency in the organization that enables sufficient stakeholder access to data that is needed to make teams and individuals coordinate, communicate, and collaborate better.
