Com\u00adpared to oth\u00ader indus\u00adtries, eat\u00ading and food are a part of every day. Eat\u00ading out is more com\u00admon\u00adplace these days and it cre\u00adates a need for new play\u00aders like pop-up or theme restaurants.<\/p>\n

What are the keys for suc\u00adcess in change?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nStrong change man\u00adage\u00adment cul\u00adture. We do a lot by pro\u00adject\u00ading dif\u00adfer\u00adent efforts, but the cul\u00adture is like embed\u00added in our peo\u00adple and encour\u00adages con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00adous improve\u00adment. Already years before the last trans\u00adfor\u00adma\u00adtion, we cul\u00adti\u00advat\u00aded the spir\u00adit of dri\u00adving change, which is a key force for achiev\u00ading. For exam\u00adple, good tech\u00adni\u00adcal pre\u00adreq\u00adui\u00adsites to run projects are not enough, but peo\u00adple need to be moti\u00advat\u00aded to con\u00adstant\u00adly improve. That helps a lot when we are fac\u00ading com\u00adpli\u00adcat\u00aded devel\u00adop\u00adment steps.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
How did you start devel\u00adop\u00ading project capa\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties in your orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion before the changes?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nPri\u00ador to the project of deploy\u00ading the logis\u00adtics cen\u00adter, we estab\u00adlished a Project Man\u00adag\u00ader Acad\u00ade\u00admy, a con\u00adcep\u00adtu\u00adal coach\u00ading pro\u00adgram for those dozens of key indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adals dri\u00adving the change. The Acad\u00ade\u00admy includ\u00aded, of course, prac\u00adti\u00adcal mat\u00adters, but also how to lead change through peo\u00adple and how to ensure the right capa\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties and crit\u00adi\u00adcal suc\u00adcess fac\u00adtors. Suc\u00adcess doesn\u2019t only depend on the indi\u00advid\u00adual but there are wider depen\u00adden\u00adcies with\u00adin the orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion. Thus, the foun\u00adda\u00adtion for the growth of the orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion\u2019s very exten\u00adsive change man\u00adage\u00adment capa\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adties began to emerge.<\/p>\n
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nHow does your orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion retain top tal\u00adents and what makes your orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion a great place to work?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nIndi\u00advid\u00adual coach\u00ading: peo\u00adple with the same job descrip\u00adtion may have very dif\u00adfer\u00adent ambi\u00adtions, and lis\u00adten\u00ading and respond\u00ading to them is impor\u00adtant. Mod\u00adern man\u00adage\u00adr\u00adi\u00adal work requires car\u00ading for the employee\u2019s career. In our devel\u00adop\u00adment orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion we have sought to embrace that as a new way of lead\u00ading peo\u00adple, which encour\u00adages pos\u00adi\u00adtive out\u00adlook, secu\u00adri\u00adty and ful\u00adfills indi\u00advid\u00adu\u00adal\u2019s ambi\u00adtions.

It is writ\u00adten into each job description.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201dLessons learned\u201d for lead\u00ading in change? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nIn the face of demand\u00ading change, you should pre\u00adpare for \u201clead\u00ading in uncer\u00adtain\u00adty\u201d. You can\u00adnot see clear\u00adly very far, thus you will inevitably be in a state of uncer\u00adtain\u00adty. This state of affairs reflects exten\u00adsive\u00adly, not only on the man\u00adage\u00adment team or staff, but on the stake\u00adhold\u00aders of the orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion. Dimen\u00adsion\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty, open\u00adness and trans\u00adparen\u00adcy, as well as rec\u00adog\u00adniz\u00ading the uncer\u00adtain\u00adty and the pow\u00ader of the group all con\u00adtribute to man\u00adag\u00ading it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your devel\u00adop\u00adment plan for the next 12 months?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nOur cur\u00adrent theme is ful\u00adfill\u00ading mar\u00adket promis\u00ades. When intro\u00adduc\u00ading the Logis\u00adtics cen\u00adter, we promised our cus\u00adtomers, sup\u00adpli\u00aders and our\u00adselves to bring a new, sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant play\u00ader to the mar\u00adket. We are now start\u00ading to get the most out of our machine and ful\u00adfill\u00ading our promis\u00ades, for exam\u00adple by increas\u00ading deliv\u00adery reli\u00ada\u00adbil\u00adi\u00adty and design\u00ading new services.<\/p>\n
We would also like to pro\u00admote coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion between Wihuri\u2019s var\u00adi\u00adous indus\u00adtries, which holds great poten\u00adtial. Cross-indus\u00adtry col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion would improve both cus\u00adtomer and staff expe\u00adri\u00adence as well as cost-effectiveness.<\/p>\n
<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nHow would you describe the part\u00adner\u00adship with Islet?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nISLET is a reli\u00adable, straight\u00adfor\u00adward and open part\u00adner that calls a spade a spade. Our coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion has always been fruit\u00adful and I have very pos\u00adi\u00adtive expec\u00adta\u00adtions for our future coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion.
