Case Study 4 : Collaborative Culture
Our client improved collaboration, accountability, and operational efficiency across different workgroups by implementing our Lean approach, Visual Planning tools, and a Data-Driven Strategy.
The Challenge
- The organisation had different work groups located in different offices so transparency and collaborative culture in the workplace was underdeveloped
- No realistic plan and understanding “who does what”? therefore responsibility and accountability was lacking
- Poor reporting practices within initial stages leading to ineffective communications

Our Approach

- allow achieving measurable changes for a more collaborative culture in the workplace
