Process of creating your playbook
1. Come to the table with Mission, Vision, Values Don’t have them – that’s okay, let’s start right there.
2. Is your MVV aligned? - Let’s check and if not, make some pivots.
3. What is your culture statement? - Not sure, let’s start with a philosophy around one of your values (perhaps collaboration) or something like (how we train)
4. Page One of Your Playbook - Contains the philosophies you will add one at a time as you create them.
5. Go forward pages will…
- Define your actionable values from your MVV itself to get you started.
- You will do this by gathering statements, words, pictures, video (for your digital versions) from your team members
- Create word clouds
- Pluck out new themes that arise from your first round of descriptions around a word or statement ,like asking your employees to define: WHAT collaboration looks like inside their team; HOWdoes it show up? ; WHEN does it show up?; WHEN should it show up?; WHAT does it feel like when it doesn’t show up?; HOW does it impact the team when we DO or DON’T collaborate.
