Imagine Turning The Worst Performing Part of Your Business Into Your Best Performing

Let's pretend it is possible to implement 100% of your change programmes successfully!

#IanDodds has been a champion and practitioner of #inclusiveness and #diversity for the past 50 years. He started out life on a council estate in the North of England, and early on he realised he was different from others at school. He earned a place at Oxford University and quickly became inspired to create inclusive work environments as a manager within ICI. He was working in one of the worst performing factories in all of ICI. He realised that there was a void in communication between managers and employees. A branch of the Communist party had been established, industrial conflict, high staff turnover, low productivity were all symptoms of this symptomatic failure.

Ian started talking to workers without judgement or prejudice. The very fact they were being heard opened them up to trusting him. He did the same with management, eventually managing to get both sides to listen to each other. In under 5 years he turned the worst into the best performing factory in ICI and he rolled out his approach across the business. 

The impact? Great working environments, with happy, loyal, fully engaged staff operating in multicultural, employing the best local talent and attracting top performer internationally, increased profitability, optimised efficiency and enhanced shareholder value and profitability.
