APARIQ, Inc. - Innovative Systematic Improvement

 

(An Example of Successful Facilitated Intelligent Solution)

Assessment, Analysis, Facilitation, Strategic Planning, and Implementation Planning for Cultural Changes in Environmental Awareness in More than 37 Divisions of a Fortune 100 Company

Top management recognized that a corporate wide strategic plan had to be created and agreed upon before attempting to create the desired changes in corporate culture through training.

Key Challenges

  • The corporation was having a very difficult time trying to agree upon the vision and goals of the corporation and the divisions differed enough that they continued to disagree upon what strategic and cultural changes were relevant.
  • The highest level corporate wide manager was only in an acting position.
  • The organization structure was in transition.
  • Accounting data had not been analyzed to determine the negative impact on the corporation that had been caused by a failure to move forward.
  • Managers were on a variety of different incentive plans in the different divisions.
  • There had been little effective effort to communicate the true economic and non-economic importance to each of the divisions.
  • The budget for the effort was ill-defined, even though the cost of an environmental oversight that could be mitigated,  was greater than the total corporate profit for this Fortune 100 company.
  • Some key managers were more concerned about their jobs than being mentally committed to see the cultural change implementation through to the end.

Successful Results

An APARIQ solutions manager coordinated and facilitated the situation assessment, analysis, strategic plan, implementation plan, and planned cultural change. After approximately six months of intensive work.  The vision, goals, and strategic plans were created.  The foundation for cultural change was put into place.  An implementation plan was completed and the key managers began implementing their cultural change.
