Who is Elvis? 

The ones who shine a bit brighter, the ones who are maverick, the ones with lots of energy and charisma. 

Felt good to be part of a program “We are LimITless.” The phase-2 of the culture journey focused on building a culture of collaboration by expanding your network. Why do we need to expand our network?

Collaborating effectively and working well in a matrixed organisation is crucial to achieve collective goals and progress. When we only reach out to people we know, for advice & support, we are limiting ourselves to same team, same routine and missing out on the diversity of opinion & perspectives, thereby slowing down on innovation process. By expanding our networks within the company, we increase our exposure to fresh perspectives, new ideas, opportunities and insights, build new skills and grow our self-confidence.

Volunteered to be a culture influencer, running a few experiments with support of org’s toolkit. In one of the experiments, we nudged & reiterated the teams to try Diversity Collision.

A few more experiments were, networking at leisure, pair and share, scheduled networking, sense checking with someone before presentation or sending a mail, discover hidden value about a colleague, happy-to-help, mentor-mentee and crowdsourcing.

Below are a wealth of resources that will help you network better and collaborate. In case you do not have subscriptions to the respective publishers, you might be allowed to read 3-5 articles free, per month.
