Invented Here Syndrome

How can change emerge from within an organization?

Strengthening Culture from Within
A remote-first organization sought to cultivate its culture from within – shaped by the people who define it. However, the fast-paced work environment left little room for reflection and intentional culture-building.

The Challenge
How can space for cultural transformation be created in a dynamic work environment, allowing it to grow organically from within?

The Solution
Through the “Invented Here Syndrome” process, a co-creative participation format emerged, enabling change to grow organically from within the organization. A structured train-the-trainer program empowered internal pioneers to lead the transformation themselves, organizing offsites and guiding their teams through the change. This anchored cultural development directly in everyday work, ensuring long-term sustainability.

The Impact
The organization grew stronger from within. Change wasn’t imposed from the outside but developed authentically by the community – sustainable, tailored, and deeply rooted in their shared culture.
