Case Study

Collaboratively enhancing performance at a global energy company

When implementing change, many organisations simply impose new processes on their workforce. Rather than creating a sense of ownership, this often leads to resentment and resistance. A better approach is to involve the people who will be affected by any change - and to take their views into account. This thinking is embodied in a new, collaborative approach called team-based organisational change (T-boc).
