How to Install Company Values & Culture | Philosophy Friday #21
6Stoffer Touborg was a lead game designer on Eve Online at CCP, led Wild Rift at Riot, and currently acts as Executive Producer on Bitcraft Online for Clockwork Labs.
Stoffer is one of the most thoughtful game industry executives I know, and I regularly ask Stoffer for advice on leadership, organizational principles, and recruiting.
Today we talk about not just about coming up with a desired set of company values and culture, but how to actually implement or install these within a company.
