Mobilising the Organisation; Changing the Culture

The customer challenge

This organisation is a specialist manufacturer within an international group undergoing significant change.

The challenge was for this specific business unit to ensure their viability in the context of:

• Shifting Group priorities
• Variable performance history
• A culture of complacency.

Benefits

• A simple clear and attractive aim for the business was defined which all staff have endorsed and are working towards own objectives
• A discernible culture shift towards one of leadership, involvement, pro-activity and performance
• The language of improvement is heard around the business
• Visible control and improvement of many processes
• Use of systematic methods in everyday work across the business and in a wide range of scenarios
• Current business performance has improved and foundations laid for the future.
