6. The problem I solved:
To get thousands of people to change and work in the
same way.
How did I do it:
Every district appointed a product ambassador who I
had monthly meetings with. The ambassador were
responsible for information in their distict.
Arranged Roadshows with clear presentations for the
participants to share with co-workers at home. The
presentation clearly explained why the change was
needed.
What happend:
Because they understood why the change was
important, they quickly adapted. It also became
popular to attend the roadshows, to get First hand
information.
7. The problem I solved:
Lack of pride and understanding by non-technical
employees in an IT company.
How did I do it:
I arranged Product trainings on a high level for new
employees on non-technical roles. The training was
simplified by using examples and metaphors and
omitting technical abbreviations.
What happend:
The ”aha..wow”understanding of what the company
truly delivered, increased their satisfaction to work
for the company. It also included them in the
conversation with the co-workers: the technicians.
8. The problem I solved:
To launch a new technology in South Africa without any
known contacts and only one opportunity to travel.
How did I do it:
I called the employees and the manager and then
invited them to teleconferences and video meetings. By
having close contact and status updates throughout the
process I successfully managed the Development. When
everything was in place I traveled for the last training
session and launch at the same time.
What happend :
The launch exceeded expectations and was much
appreciated. Having status updating meetings and
continously risk management made the project a
success.
