Company challenge

  • Look for more efficient organization in order to meet financial targets without loosing agility and customer service
  • Multi country operations where new people and people with many year of experience have to be brought into balance

Our challenge

  • Develop a training program on a very short notice
  • Stick to a  strict financial budget, no money for large scale training programs
  • Create the necessary dynamics and openness for change

 

Our approach

  • Built a clear view on the situation by open interviews
  • Through a workshop and brainstorming session develop the necessary ideas to improve on organisational design without loosing the necessary flexibility
