How the New Zealand All Blacks inspired our company Culture Book 🏉
Don’t worry, Kainos hasn’t introduced the haka at the start of team meetings! This is about how the New Zealand rugby team influenced our recently released company culture book…
The All Blacks have long been synonymous with excellence, teamwork, and a culture of continuous improvement. However, their legacy extends far beyond the rugby pitch, inspiring so many people and organisations across the globe. Kainos is no exception. In fact, when we recently launched our company Culture Book, we took inspiration from a key part of the All Blacks’ culture to help tell our story; the little black book.
When a player makes the All Blacks, they’re given a small black book, bound in leather. The first few pages are about the club’s legacy, history and what they have achieved over the years. The next section outlines the principles, values, standards and the character of the team. The rest of the pages are blank, waiting to be filled. Each player is encouraged to capture their experiences while playing at the club. This is designed to inspire themselves and others who will follow in their footsteps. We absolutely loved this concept and saw it as a great way to keep our own story alive. So, we decided to implement this in own Culture Book.

Our Culture Book brings together our history, mission, values and aspirations into one space, providing a foundation for our people to work from. It’s written by our people for everyone who has an interest in who we are and why we do what we do. Best of all, the back pages are blank and we intend to keep our story alive by inviting anyone who works for us, with us or alongside us to add to these.
Lots of people in my network will have some great stories, memories or anecdotes about Kainos to share, so if you’d like to make your mark in the Kainos story, please comment below or follow this link: https://lnkd.in/ek4Th-H7
For everyone else, I hope you enjoy reading our story and our commitment to creating a positive and inspiring place to work.
