Mind Tree Consulting is structed into two business units that focus on software development – R & D services and IT services. R & D services enables faster products realizations by leveraging the expertises in the areas of hardware design MindTree is a multi-cultural, multinational organization. This poses challenges in understanding the inherent differences among disparate cultures and achieving a uniformity of purpose in the midst of diversity. Their very name is a symbol of their efforts to bring to customers the best of both worlds. A U.S. company found us the name "MindTree." They also discovered that the word "MindTree" appears in ancient Indian literature written in 4000 B.C., meaning a source of eternal intellect and wisdom for all who come in contact with it because it springs from the mind.

 

Chief Minister of Karnataka S. M. Krishna dedicates Mind Tree House, a state-of-the-art, e-Business and technology facility of the company at Bangalore, India.

 

Its chairman Ashok Soota affirms goal of $123 millions by 2005.

 

The company, a six –month-old e-Business and technology consulting company, made an impressive launch of its development centre in Bangalore, India, today.   The state chief minister, S.M. Krishna, dedicated the 30,000 square-foot facility to the information-technology industry in the spirit of imagination, Action and Joy.   These three words constitute what the company call its DNA.

 

The new facility, located in Basavanakudi, Bangalore, will house 266 software consultants and designers who will undertake projects for the company customers in the e-Business and technology space, both in the USA and India.   Congratulating the company on its many achievements in such a short time, Krishna said, “the company clearly differentiated itself by its singular focus on domain, use of tools, methodology, quality, innovation and branding.   It is commendable achievement.   They hope that the success inspires many others to set aggressive goals use new and innovative ideas, and create new forms of value”.

 

Addressing invited guests, media, and members of the financial community, Ashok Soota, Chairman and CEO of the company, said that the company has already reached its current year business goals and feels very confident of the $ 123 million revenue goal it has set up for the year 2005.   The company development centres in Bangalore and New Jersey is exceeding their respective targets, and the company has brought forward plans for a facility in California.   The West Coast facility will be operational by April of this year.

Profile

 

After determining why they would exist as an organization, they plotted a course to guide us to achieve their mission. This activity involved the creation of visions for their organization. Their belief in having items that are time bound and measurable will enable us to truly succeed as an organization.

Our Vision for the Year 2007-08

 

To achieve $ 231 million in revenue

 

To be among the top 10% in their business in terms of profit after tax (PAT) and return on investment (ROI)

 

To be one of the top 20 globally admired companies in their industry

 

To give a significant portion of their PAT to support primary education

 

Finally, they chose to diversify ourselves not only by their culture but also by their people. This came from their years of experience working for other companies. They pride ourselves on the cultural diversity that populates their locations. With numerous nationalities throughout the company, they rely on their five core values to guide us as they build a multicultural environment.

 

 

Their Culture

 

 

 

"There are two characteristics I would like MindTree Consulting's culture to always reflect: high achievement orientation and high caring. High achievement is manifested by a willingness to take on challenging goals, to stretch ourselves, and to be tough (but fair) while competing in the market. High caring manifests itself daily in mutual respect, openness, transparency in their dealings, and empowerment. The caring is to be seen in all dealings with their customers, with each other, and even in the societies in which they work.

One should not need to describe culture within an organization. It is something one should sense when walking into a company, when talking to the members, and when observing teams in action. I believe that every MindTree team member lives by their DNA of "Imagination, Action, and Joy."

Because they are in a knowledge industry, knowledge creation and sharing is an important part of their culture. "Imagination" can involve the act of creating knowledge-which can include a way of doing things better or developing intellectual property. "Action" can involve sharing this knowledge, which is of no use unless it is acted upon. "Action" multiplies when others in the company tap into the shared knowledge bank and put it to use. Finally, the "Joy" comes from enhancing one's own ability through teaching and delighting their customers.

MindTree is a multi-cultural, multinational organization. This poses challenges in understanding the inherent differences among disparate cultures and achieving a uniformity of purpose in the midst of diversity. Their very name is a symbol of their efforts to bring to customers the best of both worlds. A U.S. company found us the name "MindTree." They also discovered that the word "MindTree" appears in ancient Indian literature written in 4000 B.C., meaning a source of eternal intellect and wisdom for all who come in contact with it because it springs from the mind.

They have adapted to a pace which is like trying to rush through childhood and adolescence in half the allotted time. Size, structure, and growth-all these will affect their culture and therefore it is something they will keep revisiting to ensure that they keep true to the basic tenets described above.

 

Our Visual Identity

 

When they were in search of their visual identity, they partnered with the Spastics Society of Karnataka, India, that runs a school for children afflicted with cerebral palsy. It is a disorder that often traps a perfectly fine mind in a disobedient body.

At the Spastics Society of Karnataka, the MindTree team interacted with a group of ten students - many in wheel chairs, and briefed them on their Mission, Vision, and Core Values. They also shared with them the three things that their visual identity should represent: Imagination, Action, and Joy.

Subsequently, over several sessions, they explained to them some basic concepts behind graphic design and asked them to interpret several known international logos. By this time, the children were gripped with excitement by the possibility of creating MindTree's visual identity.

Soon, all ten turned in their creations. Each was an original work of art. They accepted all of them but decided to adopt the work of Chetan K.S., a student who has motor and speech disability. Chetan's masterful work - the blue, red and bright yellow MindTree was presented to the world on August 18, 1999. The decisive skyward, blue brush stroke is Chetan's way of communicating imagination. The red stands for action. Finally, the bright yellow bubbles represent joy

Knowledge Management

 

Knowledge Management at MindTree


Mission: To establish systems, processes, and culture that helps us continuously build their Intellectual Capital.

Knowledge Management (KM) at MindTree allows MindTree Minds to tie together the collective experiences and knowledge towards better service delivery, organizational excellence and talent transformation. An established KM Corporate Function is responsible for globally overseeing all the activities related to KM systems, processes, structure, and policies.

 

MindTree’s Approach to KM

 

MindTree’s approach to KM is holistic, and unlike traditional approaches, it is not focused solely on a technology solution. Instead, they believe KM to be a socio-technical approach, powered by a knowledge culture. The key areas of KM in MindTree are innovation, sharing/collaboration, and reuse.

Their culture resonates with their goals to create an open and transparent organization in which knowledge is created and shared in a supportive environment where creativity and innovation are highly valued. MindTree Minds are encouraged to bring forward any idea for improvement or innovation. To create sparks of innovation, they encourage various means of self-expression such as blogging, creative writing, painting, poetry, etc.

 

The GALIS framework below illustrates the knowledge cycle that is supported by their KM approach. The knowledge cycle outlines how each MindTree Mind Gets, Applies, Learns, Innovates, and Shares knowledge through various socio-technical means.
