In this case of a medium-sized energy and water supplier
with approximately 250 employees, the focus was on digital change and defining a common leadership and collaboration
culture. Even today, we continue to support and guide the client in the sustainable and holistic implementation of the developed vision and guidelines, e.g., through team workshops or the development of suitable employee appraisal formats.
1. Background & Mandate
Background.
After two unforeseen events (Covid-19 pandemic, flooding of the company headquarters), the company abruptly and for an extended period transitioned all employees to digital work in home offices. After the end of this “state of emergency,” the company faced two challenges. First, to continue embracing digital change with motivation, and second, to recalibrate. Recalibration was to be achieved by developing a shared vision and guiding principles for leadership and collaboration.
Our Tasks.
Guidance throughout the entire change process, from planning and conception to implementation.
Providing the framework for laying the foundation of a new leadership understanding and a new sense of unity.
Within eight months, we were able to further establish the cultural shift towards digital work and make a significant contribution to common, clear, and unambiguous communication and collaboration among leaders and within teams.
2. Building Blocks & Process
In the following graphic, you will see the various content modules as well as the timeline from the kick-off workshop to the embodiment of the shared leadership guidelines. In this specific case, we were able to guide the elements highlighted in red during the development process. The topics highlighted in gray were handled independently by the company at their request.
3. Conclusion & Outlook
Commax provided the framework for the entire Phase 1 of the development process. During our collaborative partnership, the following valuable and sustainable results emerged:
- a shared understanding of leadership
- a corporate vision
- a strengthened sense of unity
- Clarity on what the vision means for the team and each individual in daily operations
- Leaders empowered to lead through change
Professionally and collaboratively guiding clients through development and change processes is our expertise and passion. We are partners from conception to ensuring long-term success. Whether it’s related to the development of a leadership model or leadership principles, the establishment of empowerment-oriented leadership, or any other cultural topic.
