Tribal Effects: Leadership, People and Learning

I have done extensive research on organization development this year. I am researching two major questions. 1. How are effective organizations built? 2. How do organizations manage change in a world where data and information is doubling every minute.? The performance of Real Madrid in recent years inspires another question. How do you create a long term winning culture? This long term winning culture starts with instruction, then it becomes established as a mentality using resources and other factors I will highlight and discuss later. You see this in teams like Barcelona and Real Madrid. The major factors that help in building a long term winning culture are 1. Resources 2. Brand leadership 3. An emphasis on winning 4. Community Ownership 5. High talent management strategy. 1. Resources. No team or organization can create a sustainable culture of winning without resources. In times of shortfalls it must have the ability to reorganize by investing

These are interesting times, we currently live in the age of learning machines. In the information economy, organizations that gather so much data and that can learn from that data will have the competitive edge. We now need more literature from strategy scholars and practitioners. The new literature must show how data is impacting organizational strategy. Organizational functions and projects that generate most data will be the ones that will receive the best improvement. Organizations for competitive reasons must be designed and structured such that decisions will be taken at the point where data is generated. Departments, functions or teams that generate the most data will be different from other parts of the organization. They will have different group dynamics and their culture will be at little or significant variance with the other departments. We can see that data differentiates. This is not ideal for organizational health and internal strategic identity-
