Nordam

Background:

Nordam asked LUC to create a day of teambuilding in specialist training. Nordam leaders desired to have full buy-in from top to bottom of the organization in the concepts of continuous improvement.

Objective:

Give the people completing the school the skills to integrate continuous improvement into their daily work and develop future leaders

Challenge:

Participants form a learning network across the boundaries of rank and department.

Solution:

LUC designed a high-energy day to support the goals of the program. The agenda included instrumented learning through a behavioral style profile to create understanding of the diverse perspectives within the group and to learn to capitalize on collective strengths; activities and ropes course focus designed to practice creative teamwork and demonstrate the impact of using continuous improvement on work processes.

Results:

After the first 4 years over 65% of graduates had been promoted at least once. As we moved into Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma these people formed a core of skilled people for the initial efforts.
