Our customer

Our customer is the parent company of a long-established industrial site in Germany and has undergone several fundamental changes over the course of its history due to structural change.

As a workplace for several thousand employees from R&D and development as well as production, the industrial park is home to various divisions and business units of an international group as well as a large number of external site service providers.

Starting point

Our customer was accompanied by CONTUR through a transformation process for an industrial park.

The aim was to significantly increase the competitiveness of the services offered by the industrial park, taking into account requirements definitions and environmental analyses as part of the strategic realignment.

In particular, our customer was faced with the challenge of successfully positioning itself against external competitors by offering competitive services.

As part of the transformation process, another challenge was to deal with a large number of small and large changes at the same time, to actively tackle and manage them. Always with the aim of making the industrial park fit for the future.

Goals

  • Knowing and reflecting on patterns of behavior in changes in people and organizations
  • Recognizing and reflecting on the needs of people undergoing change
  • Developing a common language – to deal transparently with different needs, attitudes, views and perspectives in change situations
  • Recognizing the importance of personal responsibility and change motivation in change
  • Knowing, reflecting on and fulfilling the role of leaders in managing change processes
  • Recognize the nature and meaning of service excellence for your own service and develop your own attitude toward it.
  • Analyzing and implementing day-to-day actions derived from the strategic realignment

Collaboration

In order to prepare the management team for dealing with and managing change, workshop sequences were developed and carried out together with CONTUR. In the workshops, both the basics of change management were taught and the content was applied to the respective change projects from day-to-day business, which were derived from the strategic realignment.

In terms of content, CONTUR recommended an introduction to the Four Rooms of Change Theory by Claes Janssen as an approach to transformation support. The change concept offers an ideal basis for gaining clarity on the different expectations of people in change situations. By engaging with the theory, the participating executives were able to recognize how they themselves and their employees prefer to behave during change.

Based on this, specific measures derived from the initiated strategy process were developed with regard to the necessary change management by executives.

As the project progressed, the workshop sequences were supplemented by an intensive examination of service excellence and cascaded down through the hierarchy to the employee level.
