The M.O.R.E. Mindset: Building a Culture That Drives Performance

Description

Organizations often focus on processes, methodologies, and tools to improve performance, yet many of the factors that determine success are deeply human. Culture shapes how people perceive success, take ownership, adapt to change, and collaborate across boundaries.

In this session, Ricardo Triana explores the cultural foundations behind the M.O.R.E. Mindset—Manage Perceptions, Own Success, Relentlessly Reassess, and Expand Perspective. Drawing from real-world experiences leading global teams, volunteers, communities, and organizational transformation initiatives, Ricardo shares practical lessons on building trust, fostering inclusion, navigating conflict, and creating cultures that enable people and organizations to deliver greater value. Participants will leave with actionable ideas they can immediately apply to strengthen culture and improve performance within their own organizations.
