We did a one-day 'Visioning, Culture and Goal Setting Workshop' with Infiniti TechLabs over the weekend. The idea was to bring the top leadership team together and discuss issues like the purpose/ vision (a 20-year horizon), values and gaols over 10, 5 and 2 years. We tried to get some shape to the future by using the collective intelligence available in the group. There were 16 participants - Gautami, Ajay, Suresh, Santosh, Santosh N, Anand, Neelima, Inder, Shrujit, Raghu, Revanth, Lavish, Rajneesh, Ramesh, Murli and Sunil.

Team Infiniti! |
The general idea was to first explore the purpose of the company - what we would like to create over a long time horizon like 20 years? How we would like to impact the world? What we would like to see and say - hey we created this? We took some inspiration from Simon Sinek and understood the importance of purpose to good work and motivation.

Teams in action |
Then we looked at the future in three-time horizons - 10, 5 and 2 years - and tried to look at how it would look numbers wise.

Adding my two bits |
These were to be aspirational goals and not to be confused with committed goals which the organisation would set otherwise.

A team at work |
The team was split into four teams and each presented their numbers and we arrived at a mutually agreed set of numbers for various key parameters.

Cafeteria being used - food for thought! |
Then we looked at how we would like to achieve the numbers - the values that are serving us, that we need to drop and that we need to add. Among the many values we wanted to adopt, we chose a few, defined them and looked at the behaviors that we wanted to cultivate as a value and thereon as a culture.

Getting it all together! |
The participation was enthusiastic and energetic. It was a good exercise as it always is - good to set broad contours of the future plan together that we are all part of. Makes everyone feel like they own some stake in the journey.

Final touches - everyone involved fully! |
Here's wishing Team Infiniti great success beyond what they imagined.
