They call it Organization Capital in the world of academia and many Universities even offer courses on it. You can learn about organization capital in personnel management classes, human resource degree programs and even if you are going for an MBA. Why is organizational capital so important and who came up with that new buzzword? Well it is simple really it comes from the idea of team building and it probably goes back as far as early tool making in the human race and organizing a plan of attack to hunt down dinner such as a big Wooly Mammoth. Team Building is used in government, sports, military, non-profit sector and it stands to reason in business as well. You see if you work good together as a team that is worth something and therefore it is capital. If a team accomplishes more through the efficiencies of teamwork then it saves time and money to do other things of value to the shareholders, customers and forward momentum of the company in the market place. It comes from knowing your co-workers and team mates and knowing what they are all about and how they think. When you gel together and you can feel the unity, that is worth so very much and it helps the company succeed. My question to you now is; What if Your Company Spent More Time in Team Building? Think on it. |
