CASE STUDY
Accelerating Change Through Creative Thinking
A major manufacturer was tasked with completing a significant project earlier than anticipated – and much more quickly than its standard processes could support. The internal teams responsible for conducting this change were at an impasse.
By installing a full-time cross-functional team, Global Aperture led the analysis of the existing processes, including legal and contractual requirements. We then designed a streamlined version of the existing processes that would still meet all requirements. Team prioritization, executive support, and a thorough communication plan were vital to ensure the complete participation of the management staff who would play a major role in executing this accelerated process.
Our client was able to complete its project ahead of schedule, saving time and $12 million in expenses. The client adopted the process as a standard operating procedure, continuing to provide benefits to numerous teams.
Developing only a strategic plan often isn't enough. In order to succeed, your team must be on-board, aligned around your shared vision and approach, and committed to success.
Our approach to earning and building commitment is to ensure employees are involved, communicated with, and engaged early and often as you explore new ideas and solutions. Our alignment process offers a host of services that enhance personal communication skills, strengthen lines of communication across your entire organization, and involve employees in the planning process. Just some of the ways we can help:
