COMPANY MOTTO

“ It ’ s one of T-Systems ’ core beliefs ,” explains Beyer . “ It has been introduced by our CEO Adel Al-Saleh , he brought this into our focus - ‘ people make it happen ’ - and I ' m deeply convinced by it because it ' s not just a phrase , it ' s really the foundation of everything we do and want to achieve . Our CEO of Deutsche Telekom , Tim Höttges , said , ‘ a culture without strategy lacks orientation , but a strategy without culture is powerless ’ and this exactly describes this sentence . We need to have a culture in our organisation that focuses on our people and collaboration . Having a strategy is helpful , but you need to have the right culture to forward the strategy .”
calls as best practice , from my perspective , was one success factor that I definitely recommend to many organisations , instead of wasting too much time with status reporting and result tracking .”
For others looking to apply this method , Beyer believes that it all starts with the right mindset . “ Agile E2E efficiency doesn ’ t start with training , it starts with the right mindset . If you have the right attitude in an organisation , then it is much easier to succeed . That ' s why agile working and an agile mindset for me are the foundations for the success of this programme . And this is something that companies need to start first .” technologymagazine . com 335
