Taking Low-Code to the Next Level: How to Drive Growth in Your Organisation<\/strong><\/p>\n

What steps should you take to advance low-code projects beyond the start-up phase? And how do you ensure these initiatives don\u2019t fail prematurely? To successfully accelerate low-code adoption, organisations must foster a growth culture<\/em>, develop a clear low-code vision<\/em>, and have the courage<\/em> to take on new and challenging projects. These were the three key takeaways from the Ciphix event “Taking Low-Code to the Next Level”<\/em>, held on 13 June in Culemborg.<\/p>\n

The power of a growth-oriented culture<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To discuss the importance of team culture in driving success, Ciphix invited Brian Farley, the legendary baseball coach who led the Dutch national team to an unexpected World Championship victory in 2011.<\/p>\n

Brian highlighted three essential principles for creating a winning team\u2014principles that also apply to IT teams driving low-code adoption:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Authentic Leadership<\/strong> \u2013 True leaders focus on helping their team grow. Their mindset directly influences the team\u2019s atmosphere. A positive leader fosters a positive team culture.<\/li>\n
  2. Being Your True Self<\/strong> \u2013 Team members perform better when they feel safe to be themselves. A leader who encourages authenticity creates an environment where people feel valued.<\/li>\n
  3. Active Listening<\/strong> \u2013 Real teamwork starts with listening to one another. This builds trust and drives collaboration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to Brian, only in a growth culture<\/em> can teams fully unlock their potential. In a fear culture<\/em>, employees focus on avoiding mistakes rather than striving for excellence.<\/p>\n

    Reaching the \u2018Stretch Zone\u2019<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Brian also introduced the concept of the stretch zone<\/em>. This is the space just beyond a team\u2019s current skill set\u2014challenging yet achievable. Setting goals too high leads to the panic zone<\/em>, where people feel success is impossible. But in the stretch zone<\/em>, progress leads to fulfilment, happiness, and team cohesion.<\/p>\n

    His closing message? Start with yourself.<\/em> Ask yourself daily: What impact do I want to have on my team?<\/em> When every team member does this, the result is a high-performing team.<\/p>\n

    A Clear Low-Code Vision is Crucial<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Beyond a strong team, a clear vision<\/em> is essential for scaling low-code. Arjo van Oosten, VP of Digital Transformation at Mendix and founder of the Mendix digital transformation framework<\/a>, explained how organisations mature in their low-code journey:<\/p>\n
