Odebrecht Entrepreneurial Technology (TEO) is a set of principles, concepts and criteria emphasizing education and work, which provides the ethical, moral and conceptual basis for the actions of members of the Odebrecht Group. It recognizes the potential in human beings, such as their willingness to serve, their capacity and desire to progress and their desire to exceed previous results. It also involves a planned delegation process, one based on trust and partnership between leaders and team members.
The TEO is the foundation of the culture of the Odebrecht Group and guides the actions of people in the various businesses, countries and cultural contexts in which they work.
This approach makes it possible to meet clients’ needs, add value to shareholder equity, reinvest achieved results, and grow on multiple fronts.
Decentralization promotes ongoing and direct contact between the member and the client, resulting in a clear perception of the client's needs. Decentralization is also important for identifying and attracting new entrepreneurs to the organization;
Trust, when put into practice, takes the form of planned delegation. Leaders must be certain of the upright character of members and believe in the potential and ability of each professional and in his or her desire to progress, as well as in his or her adherence to the Group's Philosophical Concepts;
The Entrepreneurial Task consists of the identifying, winning, and satisfying the client – an ongoing and efficient process that ensures that challenges will be met with success;
All results must always flow from clients to shareholders, since valuing their moral and material equity is the main guarantee of the survival, growth and perpetuity of the Group.
