Developing cross-functional work culture for a Fortune 500 company
The Client
A unique international player in the field of electrical and electronic engineering operating in over 190 countries and listed in the Fortune 500. It is needless to state that success in team requires energy, talents and ideas of everyone in the team. However some individuals, heavily entrenched in counter-productive behavior, failed to respond to the need for effective team work. This led to frustrated and expensive work environment posing a huge challenge to the organization and affecting its bottom-lines in productivity.
The Challenge
The client wanted all its employees from different business verticals to have a unique common objective. It was absolutely necessary to bring in cohesiveness to build up a strong team that would pursue company objectives with intense focus and weed out the streaks of individuality that weakened the team.
The Solution
Starting as a consulting project to assess the problems and the challenges within and between teams, a bonding initiative was developed with the objective of drawing out the best contribution from everyone and offering everyone the opportunity to become a fully functioning team member. Achieving group concord and consensus, team dialogue and interaction and aligning with the organization goals, were an integral part of the learning process.
Business Benefits
A sense of “one team” approach was incorporated as part of organization culture over a period of time, fulfilling the desired objectives of the client. Development of effective teams and a cross-functional work culture is now helping the client see an increase in the bottom-lines in productivity.
