Create a Workplace People Love – Just add Joy
Keynote presented at agile42 Connect in Berlin, November 2015 – Richard Sheridan is the CEO of Menlo Innovations in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While his focus has always been around technology, his passion is actually process, teamwork and organizational design, with one inordinately popular goal: the Business Value of Joy! The talk will explain how it's possible to create an intentional team culture focused on the business value of joy and unleash the human energy and the results you always knew were possible. Sheridan is an avid reader and historian, and his software design and development team at Menlo Innovations didn't invent a new culture, but copied an old one… Edison's Menlo Park New Jersey lab. Henry Ford's recreation of the Menlo Park Lab in Greenfield Village was a childhood inspiration! Some call it agile, some call it lean… Sheridan and his team call it joyful. And it produces results, business and otherwise. Six Inc. magazine revenue growth awards, invites to the White House, speaking engagements around the nation, numerous articles and culture awards and so much interest they are doing a tour a day of the Menlo Software Factory™.
