Is more focus on “having fun” part of the way forward for the finance sector?

As the recent Tomorrow’s Company report “Tomorrow’s Innovation, Risk and Governance” highlights, creating an effective organisational culture is an essential part of building successful and sustainable organisations in the finance sector and elsewhere.

So following my post on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s speech, I was fascinated by this contribution from Cognitive Policy Works on the role of fun (aka motivational psychology) in “saving the world”.

OK, so maybe fun isn’t quite the right term – but what we do need today is more focus on values and culture in the finance sector – and fun isn’t a bad place to start!
