September  2013  

Last  december  2013  we  had  in  BBF-­‐Bilbao  Innova4on  Factory  our  strategic  days.  There  we  meet  more  than  200  team  entrepreneurs  from  different  learning  programs  with  one  concrete  

goal:  share  our  team  companies’  leading  thoughts  and  renew  MTA  ones  for  the  next  

years!    Here  you  have  our  iden4ty  and  culture  code.  

Our  mission  statement  

“We  are  teampreneurs  making  our  dreams  become  true  learning  and  creaPng  together”  

Our  vision  

“By  1st  May  2020    we  are  20  excellent  interconnected  labs  (social  innovaPon  

ecosystems)    in  5  conPnents”  

Our  values  

1.  Learning  by  doing  for  us  represents  the  ajtude  of  go  and  do.  If  you  fail  do  it  fast  and  try  again.    In  Mondragon  Team  Academy  everyone  is  the  protagonist  and  it  is  the  responsability  of  each  one  to  choose  the  best  working  dynamics  co-­‐creaPng  with  peers.    Learning  by  doing  pushes  us  to  our  limits  and  to  the  uncomfort  zone  where  the  most  of  the  learnings  happen.    The  support  network  of  the  team  and  community  allows  us  to  make  mistakes,  have  experiences  and  to  apply  our  knowledge  into  acPon.  

LEARNING  BY  DOING  

2.  Team   learning   is   about   trust,  transparency,   communicaPon   and  common  understanding  of   how   to  work   together   between   all   the  members.    Team   learning   is   a   long   process  and  demands  commitment.  By  giving  and  receiving  feedback  in  a  trust  environment  we  learn  more  of  ourselves  and  of  others.  Apply  Dee  Hock  leadership  model:    50%  leading  yourself,    20%   leading   people   above   you,  20%  leading  your  peers,    10%  inferiors.  

TEAM  LEARNING  

3.  We   learn   the   global   mindset   through  personal  experiences  and  learning  journeys  abroad:  Finland  (Tiimiakatemia;  USA  Silicon  Valley;  China  and   India).  Wide  perspecPve  of  opportuniPes  and  risks  globally  helps  us  to  work  also  locally.  Working   experiences   abroad   help   us   to  i d e n P f y   l e a r n i n g   a n d   b u s i n e s s  opportuniPes,   and   to   benchmark   good  dynamics  in  pracPse.  Global   mindset   doesn’t   limit   only   for   the  Pme   being   abroad   but   we   develop  internaPonal   projects   systemically.   Every  team   entrepreneur   has   an   opportunity   to  do  the  final  project  abroad.  

GLOBAL  MINDSET  

4.  We  follow  Dalai  Lama´s  3  R´s.  -­‐-­‐Respect  for  Self  -­‐-­‐Respect  for  Others  -­‐-­‐Responsibility  for  all  your  acPons     Take   into   account   that   great   love   and  great  achievements  involve  great  risk.  When  you  lose,  don't  lose  the  lesson.  Don't   let   a   li)le   dispute   injure   a   great  relaPonship.   When   you   realize   you've  made   a  mistake,   take   immediate   steps   to  correct  it..  Open  your  arms   to   change,  but  don't  give  up  your  values.  Share   your   knowledge.   It   is   a   way   to  achieve  immortality.        

RESPECT    &  

RESPONSIBILITY  

5.  We   dare   for   the   change   of   the   best.   Our  learning   process   as   teampreneurs   is  focused  upon  conPnuous  improvement.  We  pracPce  Kaizen  -­‐the  good  change-­‐  and  it’s  a  daily  process.  Live  With  Discipline  (from  “The  Monk  Who  Sold   His   Ferrar i”   by   R.   Sharma) .  Represented  by  a  pink  wire  coil,  the  noPon  of   discipline   entreats   one   to   consistently  perform   small   acts  of   courage,   strengthen  one's  will  power,  and  develop  the  strength  of  self  discipline.  As   Mahatma   Gandhi's   famous   "You   must  be   the   change   you   wish   to   see   in   the  world”.  

LEAVE  IT  BETTER  

THAN  YOU  FOUND  IT  

6.  Passion   is   the   motor   and   heart   of  Mondragon  Team  Academy.    Passion   drives   us   on   overcoming   our  daily   life   challenges,   and   by   sharing  passion   in   the   team   we   are   able   to  come  up  with  extraordinary  results.  In   Mondragon   Team   Academy   make  our  dreams  become  true  with  the  help  of   the   team.  What  would   you  want   to  do?  

PASSION  

7.  We   believe   that   transparency   and  honesty   makes   the   world   be)er.   We  need  to  be  real.  When   we   demonstrate   this   factor   we  a re   l ea rn ing   g rea t   l eader sh ip  capabiliPes.  These   values   will   a)ract   the   right  people   into   our   businesses   and  community.      

TRANSPARENCY  &    

HONESTY  

8.  CreaPvity   and   innovaPon   are   coming  from  openess  and  diversity.    Everyone  has  a  unique  style  of  learning,  thinking   and   working.   However,   very  few   people   learn   or   work   in   a   way  which   is  best   for   them   (“The  Power  of  Diversity”  by  B.  Prashnig).    We   need   to   encourage   diversity   –not  just  of  colour  but  of   intelect  and  style-­‐  in  the  workplace  in  order  to  succeed.  

OPENESS    &  

DIVERSITY  

9.  We  teampreneurs  and  our  collaborators  as  changemakers  are  creaPng  the  community  of  Mondragon  Team  Academy.  We  belong  to  Mondragon  Coopera8ve  and  we   co-­‐create   with   Team   Academy’s  internaPonal  learning  network.  Community   gives   us   support   and   helps   us  to   learn.   We   are   commi)ed   to   our  community   socially   and   environmentally,  understanding   our   impact   and   taking   our  responsibility  of  it.  We   understand   the   value   of   MTA  community   and   take   acPvely   part   to   the  events   organized   by   members   of   MTA   as  well  as  our  collaborators.
