Team Motivation
a new approach
All rights protected, Paradigm Digital Ltd, 2017

Digitization and well-being of employees
Personal motivation shall be in harmony with the team interest and the business goal of the
company. Sometime tiredness can be the sign of disengagement, sometimes engaged
employees never get tired, because they are self energized.
Let us try to find the right description of digitization. Is this new business trend simply
related to our new technical environment or something else, or more complex mixture of
aspects? How companies reflect to challenges of technology strongly determines the
corporate’s whole business operation and the wellbeing of workers. In wider scope,
harmony between progress of digitization and the human attitude affects all business
stakeholders at every moment of the corporate life. In ideal case people are energized and
motivated to reach the common business goal, thrive mutual value.
So far digitization is understood as a technical issue, predominating the technology over the
importance of human resources. Success Digital intends to create balance between IT and
human factor, with highlight on sustained workforce motivation.
Digitization is a new context of corporate development. This trend influences the evolution
of business software in parallel with rapid progression of IT infrastructure and platforms.
Nevertheless, digitization is deeply dependent on human factor and shall be maintained
together with the modernization trends of business software.
Finding better approach
There are always limitations that a company shall understand and handle. It is hard to see a
clear picture in right time, but the sooner we understand the real situation, the less
resources we shall sacrifice. This process never stops, there are always such changes that
brings your company and business culture in danger, contrariwise if you solve them, you
can strengthen your company and motivate your people.

The contextual understanding of organizational of behavior, thoughts and needs shall be
clear and transparent. It is true for all modern-age companies which want to be more,
improve itself to be future resilient. They shall compete in a free, stimulative way that
generates benefit to each other and all the human resource whom they work intensively
together with.
Team players in business shall find the right balance to put the learnings into effective
action, while not suffering from overcomplexity of everyday business life. In general, a
teamwork is overloaded with tasks, backlogs that makes us all time busy. In this overloaded
pace it is hard to ​identify and measure our values and share the result with others, while
holding ​continuous motivation​. We want to show to players of digital work life a new
dimension, the new way of thinking that ​establishes capability of reliable assessment ​of
ever more challenging business environment. Generating success shall be the clear target
and can be seen and prized every day. The targeted success, as the core value itself, and
the pillars of proper thinking shall not be directed by old fashion toolkit. Rather, while
insisting on well-defined and realistic goals we shall keep continuous control on our
motivation, so that this carefully sustained process shall positively influence the chance for
success.

Success Digital framework, has clear driving principles:
● Human factor first
● Keep focus on the topic
● Holistic approach of problem
● Honesty to each other
● Simplification against over complication
● Lean thinking to avoid waste in business
Success Digital combines healthy ideas, achievements of business innovators, lean
thinkers that are packaged and actualized into a new form the coherent unity, ​establishing a
new practice framework for sustainable motivation.
Success Digital services

New dimension of success at a digital company means to have deeper understanding of
common business values and clustering them into individually coupled fragments that
enables more energized team work.
It is no longer the speed and saving is the highest business priority rather the
journey that employees walk through by preserving the inner stimulus and
generating mutual and realistic business success in series.
Success Digital services concentrate on principles that results in effective collaboration,
keeps the ​flow of motivation each and every involved stakeholders. Our manifesto can be
summarized in four point of learnings:
● The success depends on the people who participate in it.
● Human motivation shall be kept till the very moment of achievement that is hard
to regulate via standardized models
● Our business world functions at human scale but the creative process is
governed on even wider scale that can not be modeled faultlessly. That is why
believe in ourselves and the others is the safest foundation of success.
● Successful team has its own platform, ​“software” and ​“​hardware” tuned
together​. In this simile “software” is not lines of codes, nighter method or
process, but properly established mindset. Likewise, “hardware” is toolkit, but
not applications, office and stationary, rather the context of comfortable
environment through along the process of creation.
Success Digital introduces a ​new dimension​, a principle of realistic platform around
your team that let you create business achievements in alignment with your own
inner motivation.

What to learn on Success Digital Practice?
Based on Success Digital principles we provide a flow of services called Success Digital
Framework, that composes of two main sections. SD Practice is a learning process where
you can understand better your challenges in digitization and let you cope with complexity
of challenges with ease of fun and success. The other main section is SD Imprint. It helps
you to assess your learnings from SD Practice, deepen the newly obtained experiences
with further knowledge to reinforce your skills to focus on values behind the everyday
activities.
Success Digital Framework: Practice is the core of our framework. Our purpose is to
introduce a new thinking system that focuses on shared values of the team. On the training
the participants understand the terminology and tools that they can later re-use
independently and individually through their carrier. To strengthen and customize the
gained experiences we offer mentoring services that we collected under Imprint section.

Phases of SD Practice, the experimentation journey:
1)Discover Values, Share Values
This is the phase where SD helps in finding the values behind the goals. These values will
be in line with the personal motivation. Every employee, every stakeholder has personal
motivation. All these together in a team will build up collective motivation, stimulate a mutual
understanding and desire for success. Participants discover together the co-operative
values in the team while incorporating their open expression of individual motivations. SD
differentiates four level of motivation that energizes the individual:
● corporate
● department
● project
● personal work-life
We live with the assumption the social and private aspects are not independent of the
business motivation categories but we do not focus on these tiers in our framework.
Success Digital’s main purpose to improve the businesses values by the well targeted
motivation tools and practices.
Takeaways at the end the practice:
● understanding the importance of values
● being able to share values with others
● set of my values as a part of shared values are defined
● based on my shared values I can monitor my motivation
● understand what to do if motivation degrades?
2) Independent learning
Let the trained participants practice the problem solving independently, with no outside
control from Success Digital trainers. This practice lasts till the end of the project, the first
project of the practitioner using Success Digital Framework.
During the run of project it is recommended to monitor and register the progress of
motivation. That measured data is the key supporter of learning, benchmarking motivation
during later projects and analyzing the motivation - value fusion in wider time and
organization scale.

3) Celebrate the Achievements
At the end of practice cycle SD creates joyful learning and also a schema for presenting the
results. By accomplishment of SD Practice the team schedules a celebration event and SD
team will be invited to participate as a jury. The goal of this happening is to stabilize the
outcome of learnings. This experience serves a good basis for in-house training the
principles to other colleagues inside the company. By adding these value to corporate
learning process, the whole company can develop faster on the digitization path. This
celebration event is about improve pitching skills, too. It establishes and empowers a new
corporate practice, an new, efficient knowledge handover tool, stimulates the speaker and
the new project-team who is heading to the new corporate challenge.
