You already know that the culture of an organisation plays a key role in it’s day to day efficiency and achievement of long term goals. And while the term that was introduced in 1951 is without a doubt still relevant in a modern working environment, the concept of 2019 has now a lot to add to the classic understanding of values and behaviors that contribute to the unique environment of a business.
In the era of Digital Transformation we redefine the values of our time and productivity by introducing new tools to our daily working experience.
Social Hackers Academy is a great example of an up to date organisation that entered Greek NGO ecosystem dynamically and firmly regardless very limited human and financial resources. It all starts with changing the mindset of the NGO founders in using tools that will solve/automate the tasks that takes ages for them to do.
