I other words research, investigation and then providing commentary on the direction of Korean business from trends inside Korea to Korea-facing international operations.<\/p>\n<p>An example of this process, several years ago I coined the term K-lobalization <em>(Globalization with a K for Korea<\/em>) as I saw the trend when Korean firms boldly promote their own unique management style and corporate culture internationally and across many markets. A recent manifestation is organization-wide, corporate-directed mandates&#8230;. from core value, vision, and management training directives to most recently how they should brand or even target specific consumers in local markets. Usually these programs are expected to be unchallenged and accepted without question by overseas teams\u2014at times not in the best interest of the local operation.<\/p>\n<p>This said, a new topic, which has my interest, was touched upon in May 11 edition of Everything Korea\u2026 there I argue a key challenge in Korean success with startups and innovation was \u201cculture. \u00a0I would like to expand this perspective more broadly to be the \u201cculture\u201d needed to foster the Creative Process in general. In fact, this is the first of three commentaries on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain. What has evolved in America regarding startups, tech, and innovation is they tend to hub in cities with diversity and strong counter-cultures like Boulder, Colorado, San Francisco, Austin, TX, and NYC, although more and more scenes are emerging in Nashville, TN or here in Golden, CO\u2026<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.25.40-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-964\" src=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.25.40-AM-300x122.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-06-29 at 10.25.40 AM\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.25.40-AM-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.25.40-AM.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nuff said\u2026Edgy Austin and Jack Kerouac<\/p>\n<p>Within these communities I have witnessed an amazing synergy not only in day-to-day interactions and dialogue, but also in resources. Actually spending an hour and listening to the chats and even pitches for Angel Funding in edgy Caffe Centro on a South Park Street in San Francisco (the couple of blocks once referred as the Tech Ground Zero and where concepts like Twitter were launched and well as scores of tech companies and startups now call home) one quickly sees why locating in one of these scenes is key. In fact, showing how widespread, I frequently hear similar coffee shop launch pitches in Golden, Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain more in detail.<\/p>\n<p>As academic Richard Florida points out in <em>The Rise of the Creative Class<\/em>, creatives as a group reflects a \u201cpowerful and significant shift in values, norms, and attitudes.\u201d He clusters this attitude to be:<\/p>\n<p>1) Individualism<\/p>\n<p>2) Meritocracy<\/p>\n<p>3) Diversity and Openness (which can translate to gender, sexual preference, race and my favorite \u201cpersonal idiosyncrasies\u201d.)<\/p>\n<p>Of course those familiar with the Korean workplace and by this I don&#8217;t mean only the larger organizations but even most progressive firms, recognize there is a huge disparity from these \u201ccreative\u201d norms.<\/p>\n<p>For example, in contrast to the individualism within the creative class, in Korea we find deeply rooted collectivism where the group is the primary unit of reality and the ultimate staendard of value.<\/p>\n<p>In collectivistic societies, group goals take precedent over an individual\u2019s objectives. This view does not deny the reality of the individual, but, ultimately, collectivism holds that one&#8217;s identity is determined by the group(s) with which one is affiliated.<\/p>\n<p>Collectivistic cultures also require that individuals fit into the group\u2014and \u201cconform.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Noting this, outside values, norms and attitude, perhaps the gap between US and Korea that also occurs is in \u201crisk mindset.\u201d Today the American entrepreneurs, angel investors and VC who launched Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, Square and now Super continue to look for, invest and provide mentorship and guidance to what they hope will be the next success story\u2026. In most cases they are investing resources in multiple ventures\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>This said they know and accept that failure is part of the process\u2026. As Biz Stone (co-founder of Twitter, and an early investor in Square, Medium\u2026and a bunch more) said at SXSW on his most recent work\u2026 \u201cthe failure of one venture, Jelly, led to success at a venture, Super.me \u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>So getting back to Korea<\/em> the real challenge is not in lack of ideas or topnotch talent, but in allowing and fostering a culture of Diversity and Openness, an acceptance of failure, and tolerating and even embracing non-conformity.<\/p>\n<p>The good news\u2026. I would not give up on Korea and a creative culture. More of my thoughts on this in the next episode of Everything Korea. I even will propose a roadmap for grooming creatives in Korea.<\/p>\n<p>So until next time\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Links<\/p>\n<p>The Rise of the Creative Class <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rise-Creative-Class-Revisited-Anniversary-Revised\/dp\/0465029930\/\">http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Rise-Creative-Class-Revisited-Anniversary-Revised\/dp\/0465029930\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.27.29-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-965\" src=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.27.29-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-06-29 at 10.27.29 AM\" width=\"153\" height=\"223\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Beat Museum <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kerouac.com\">http:\/\/www.kerouac.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Biz Stone\u2019s Super.me <a href=\"https:\/\/super.me\">https:\/\/super.me<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.30.01-AM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-967\" src=\"http:\/\/www.songdoibdcitytalk.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Screen-Shot-2015-06-29-at-10.30.01-AM.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-06-29 at 10.30.01 AM\" width=\"188\" height=\"77\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Questions and Comments?\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"mailto:questions@koreabcw.com\">questions@koreabcw.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Outside my day-to-day support of Korean facing business and clients, I am drawn to ponder on issues and drill deep.
