Microsoft will increase investments for employee training and development, and will encourage the testing of new ideas and incubation of new projects. It will become easier for employees to change roles within the company.
And Nadella is calling on every team at Microsoft to find ways to simplify the way they function and be faster and more efficient.
“We will increase the fluidity of information and ideas by taking actions to flatten the organisation and develop leaner business processes,” he wrote.
That goes for everyone in the company starting with him and his senior leadership team, Nadella wrote.
“Culture change means we will do things differently. Often people think that means everyone other than them. In reality, it means all of us taking a new approach and working together to make Microsoft better,” he wrote.
After quoting a verse from poet Rainer Maria Rilke – “The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens” – Nadella closed by calling on all employees to have courage to change.
“With the courage to transform individually, we will collectively transform this company and seize the great opportunity ahead,” he wrote.
