Projekt Kultur

The term „project culture“

to us encompasses a number of aspects:

It is first of all a special way of looking
at whatever it is that we see in project:

• what do the structures (formal
  and informal) and roles look like?
• how are things done
  (beyond the what is being done)?
• what do social relationships look like?
• which feelings are present?
  How are they dealt with?

When working on a project,
we aim at creating a “project culture”,
at least contributing to it.
This project culture is committed
to the following values:

• appreciation for each and every individual
• strengthening of whatever it is that
  someone is good at and which is supportive
• constructive criticism and an attitude
  towards mistakes that makes it easy
  to admit to them; and which at the
  same time minimises the probability
  of committing new ones
• transparent examination and discussion
• to respect hierarchies and
  existent agreements
• an openness for lateral thinking
  and imagination
• constantly challenging own ways of
  thinking and working
  
  

The objective is to create a working
atmosphere that allows everybody to
cooperate and to work with ease and joy.
On the other hand, we aim at preventing
social conflicts, or to solve them in the
best way possible. Therefore, much
less is time is wasted on unproductive
frictions, which are often disguised
as factual disputes.

This results in:

• more effective work
• deadlines are met
• budgets are kept to

We strive to bring this attitude to any
project we participate in, no matter whether
we are working as SAP-HR-experts,
or whether we have been charged
with improving and supporting
the existing project culture.
