Case study: Sysco
When the very essence of your business is change, when you are constantly stretching already leading edge technologies to create innovative and exciting installations how do you help your team to embrace change and become key participants in the process so they can be happy with the process and enjoy the ride?
It's not easy is it? - but help was at hand - Mark Burgin, chairman and founder of Sysco Audio Visual Solutions - a leading audio visual engineering company - contacted Dave Nyss of d2 as a specialist in this area for help.
Initially d2 worked with Mark and his management team to develop a structure for change within which people felt supported and empowered so they could find their own way, confident that their ideas on change would be welcome, and trial and error was seen as a healthy part of growth rather than something to be cautious about.
Hugo Roche MD, Sysco: "d2 have brought a clarity of thought and a way of engaging everyone so that they are actively involved in the process, rather than feeling that they are being dictated to, which is a much more successful and enjoyable approach."
d2 then quickly started working with individual team members giving them the space and opportunity to adapt their skills and develop their confidence; and when you have confidence and the skills to do the job in hand, you want to be part of the process and contribute to change rather than feeling you have to 'deal with it'.
Mark Burgin Chairman, Sysco: "d2 helped us make our vision a reality which is to make change part of the culture and be seen by all our team as part of the positive contribution they make to our success."
"Their gentle approach and non-threatening manner and excellent project management and mentoring skills is the combination we needed to achieve our goals and help individuals develop confidence and a cohesion within the company that makes team work organic and an enjoyable part of working with us."
