DEC – Culture of Innovation
The DEC culture emphasized:• Creativity• Freedom• Responsibility• Openness• Commitment to truth• Having fun“Culture is a complex force field that influences all of an
organization’s processes. We try to manage culture but, in fact, culture manages us far more than we manage it, and it happens largely outside of awareness (p. 31).”

Sutton – Weird Ideas that Work1. Hire “Slow Learners” (of the organizational code). 1-1/2 Hire People Who
Make You Uncomfortable, Even Those You Dislike.2. Hire People You (Probably) Don’t Need3. Use Job Interviews to Get Ideas, Not to Screen Candidates4. Encourage People to Ignore and Defy Superiors and Peers5. Find Some Happy People and Get them to Fight6. Reward Success and Failure, Punish Inaction7. Decide to Do Something That Will Probably Fail, Then Convince Yourself
and Everybody Else That Success is Certain8. Think of Some Ridiculous or Impractical Things to Do, Then Plan to Do
Them.9. Avoid, Distract, and Bore Customers, Critics, and Anyone Who Just
Wants to Talk About Money10. Don’t Try to Learn Anything from People Who Seem to Have Solved the
Problems You Face.11. Forget the Past, Especially Your Company’s Successes.
