ArrowStream Wins Award for Communication and Shared Vision

ArrowStream, Inc., a company that leverages data science to improve the way supply chains perform, won the National Association for Business Resources' 2016 Elite Award for Communication and Shared Vision. The award is a follow up award to ArrowStream being named one of Chicago's Best and Brightest Companies to Work For by the National Association for Business Resources.

ArrowStream earned the award for demonstrating exemplary performance in communication and shared vision by fostering a progressive, employee-friendly culture. In 2016, ArrowStream literally broke down the walls with an office renovation, bringing team members closer together and creating cross-functional dialogues. This improvement helped to promote rapid decision making that maximizes the continued evolution of technology. As a part of its two-week product release cycle, the company shares bi-monthly snapshots of recent developments in fun, music-themed gatherings to celebrate product innovations with everyone. ArrowStream believes in the power of transparency, which is exemplified not only in the product gatherings, but also in monthly business and financial updates for the entire organization so all employees understand the current operating environment and strategy.

ArrowStream sponsors activities that encourage creative thinking by disrupting standard working patterns. The company recently hosted a Hackathon to stimulate innovation and vision among its product development group, and hosts a Toastmasters club. Its mission is to Rethink the Supply Chain, which empowers employees to derive new solutions and attack challenges without conventional restraints. Employees bring to life the mission and core values, which include "Everyone is my customer," "I am my word," "Excellence/Learning," and "Humility," in their day-to-day work and contribute to the vision of ArrowStream's future.
