NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESSWIRE / June 5, 2024 / Culture in Focus is a series highlighting the people and culture that make us who we are. As we continue to advance, we understand the importance of not only sharing our journey, but also the values that drive us. Through these conversations, we want to pull back the curtain on our vibrant culture to showcase the stories that power our purpose.
馬薩諸塞州北安普敦/ACCESSWIRE /2024年6月5日/ 聚焦文化 該系列重點介紹了造就我們本質的人和文化。在我們不斷前進的過程中，我們了解不僅分享我們的旅程的重要性，還了解推動我們前進的價值觀的重要性。通過這些對話，我們希望拉開我們充滿活力的文化的大幕，展示推動我們實現目標的故事。
Part two of our series features Dak Liyanearachchi, Chief Data and Technology Officer.
我們系列的第二部分講述了首席數據和技術官達克·利亞納拉奇。
Born in Sri Lanka, Liyanearachchi lived in the U.K. until just over eight years ago when he moved to the U.S. In another life he would have been an acoustic guitar player, but in this one he's a deep thinker, Beyoncé and Becky Hill fan, and occasional hang glider.
Liyanearachchi 出生於斯裏蘭卡，一直生活在英國，直到八年多前他移居美國。在另一種生活中，他本來是一名原聲吉他手，但在這段生活中，他是一個思想深刻的人，碧昂斯和貝基·希爾的粉絲，偶爾還會有懸掛式滑翔機。
To him, "The simplest way to talk about what I do, is to say 'I look after data and technology'," yet he does so much more. From encouraging curiosity to building a culture that promotes continuous learning, Liyanearachchi is setting the stage for growth at NRG.
對他來說，“談論我的工作最簡單的方法就是說'我照顧數據和技術'”，但他做的遠不止於此。從鼓勵好奇心到建立促進持續學習的文化，Liyanearachchi正在爲NRG的成長奠定基礎。
Building trust through transparency
通過透明度建立信任
At NRG, trust and open communication are the pillars of a successful culture. These two tenets are particularly important when collaborating across teams, a process that occurs here every day. In his third year with the company, Liyanearachchi is no stranger to using transparency and connection as a vehicle to drive that trust and open communication in his role.
在NRG，信任和開放溝通是成功文化的支柱。在跨團隊協作時，這兩個原則尤其重要，這個過程每天都在發生。在公司任職的第三年，Liyanearachchi對利用透明度和人際關係作爲推動信任和公開溝通的工具並不陌生。
"For me it's around how do I support you and how do I make you successful? The trust comes from being open, transparent, and creating connection. Connection is really important because it breaks down barriers."
“對我來說，問題在於我如何支持你以及如何讓你成功？信任來自開放、透明和建立聯繫。連接非常重要，因爲它可以打破障礙。”
These practices facilitate smoother conversations, guarantee that everyone's voice is heard, and streamline problem solving. Our company's continuous growth is propelling us toward a common purpose, and open communication will be the key to achieving that. While silos foster division, collaborative teams create room for diverse perspectives and better outcomes. By bolstering a connected culture, we're building a solid foundation for future innovation.
這些做法可以促進更順暢的對話，確保每個人的聲音都能被聽到，並簡化問題的解決。我們公司的持續增長正在推動我們朝着共同的目標邁進，而開放的溝通將是實現這一目標的關鍵。雖然孤島會促進分裂，但協作團隊爲不同的視角和更好的結果創造了空間。通過加強互聯文化，我們正在爲未來的創新奠定堅實的基礎。
Permission to fail
允許失敗
No question is a dumb question. In fact, Liyanearachchi would prefer you ask him about something as many times as it takes until you understand it. This value of psychological safety is one that is shared by many at NRG.
沒有問題是一個愚蠢的問題。實際上，Liyanearachchi 希望你儘可能多地向他詢問某件事，直到你明白爲止。這種心理安全的價值觀是NRG的許多人所共有的。
Liyanearachchi advocates for creating an environment where everyone feels safe enough to fail. This mindset provides an open space for teammates to excel, while also promoting the curiosity and perseverance they need to keep trying.
Liyanearachchi主張創造一個讓每個人都感到足夠安全的環境，可以失敗。這種心態爲隊友提供了一個脫穎而出的開放空間，同時也增強了他們繼續努力所需的好奇心和毅力。
"I try and push the teams by empowering them to take some of those decisions. To do that, I have to be comfortable that everything may not work out the way we want it to. My ask of the teams is fail fast, but ask questions if you don't understand."
“我嘗試通過授權團隊做出其中一些決定來推動他們。要做到這一點，我必須放心，一切都可能無法按照我們想要的方式進行。我對團隊的要求是快速失敗，但如果你不明白，可以問問題。”
At NRG, we believe success is a journey of trial and error. Through our triumphs and reworks, one thing has remained constant - having team support along the way makes it that much more impactful when we finally achieve our goals.
在NRG，我們相信成功是一段反覆試驗的旅程。通過我們的勝利和返工，有一件事一直保持不變——一路上有團隊支持，當我們最終實現目標時，影響力要大得多。
There's always room for improvement
總有改進的餘地
There's no growth in stagnation. To Liyanearachchi, learning and growing is a unique journey with no finish line - in his own words, you've got to, "keep putting your hand up to learn more and do more." That's why we're always eager to listen, adapt, and evolve at NRG - it's how we stay in tune with our customers' needs.
停滯不前沒有增長。對Liyanearachchi來說，學習和成長是一段獨特的旅程，沒有終點線——用他自己的話說，你必須 “繼續舉起手來學習更多，做更多的事情。”這就是爲什麼我們一直渴望傾聽、適應和發展 NRG 的原因——這就是我們與客戶需求保持一致的方式。
"From an improvement perspective there's plenty of growth. In terms of opportunities, we are evolving from a traditional energy company to a consumer company. If you ask how many companies have done that, I'm not sure there are many."
“從改善的角度來看，增長幅度很大。在機會方面，我們正在從傳統能源公司發展爲消費公司。如果你問有多少公司這樣做了，我不確定有多少。”
As the world continues to modernize and technology becomes smarter, our teams are understanding every day what it means and what it takes to power a brighter future together.
隨着世界不斷現代化和技術變得更加智能，我們的團隊每天都在了解這意味着什麼，以及共同推動更光明的未來需要什麼。
