3.4.2. Operational Development
Both Steelwrist and SVAB maintains an operational development
program to stimulate employees’ productive activities, creativity
and innovation, as well as entrepreneurship.
Based on our strategy and feedback from customers and coworkers we run a well-de昀椀ned operational development program
at Terratech. This is the main vehicle for turning larger strategic
initiatives into reality. We have used a similar format for more than
ten years and more than 80 larger projects have been executed
within Steelwrist and more than 40 projects within SVAB.
At Sjørring we have a similar program and we
are working to incorporate the most valuable
components also in the Sjørring program.
The Operational Development process follows
the seasonality of our business whereby
projects are de昀椀ned from summer up to
late September and then executed in crossfunctional teams from early October to the
end of March. In this process we o昀昀er the
possibility for employees to show sides of
themselves that might not be highlighted in
their day-to-day work.
We o昀昀er the employees to come with
suggestions
on
potential
areas
for
improvement within the company and with
this also hope to promote their innovation
and entrepreneurship abilities to contribute
to improving Terratech.
