Enablement and Academy

Strategic Competence Management

Qualified employees determine the success of companies. This fact is reinforced by advancing demographic change, the growing shortage of skilled workers and required competencies that are constantly changing. With the increasing importance of qualified employees, the requirements for targeted employee development are also growing. Above all, this relates to the enablement process, training concepts, learning formats and content.

HR Transformation

Too often, the role of HR is reduced to administrative tasks instead of being recognized as a strategic partner. We professionalize your human resource management!

To meet the increasing complexity, we provide you with a holistic enablement concept.
In detail, the structured Academy approach from UNITY is divided into the following three steps:

Analyze and understand

Create an understanding of the challenges of the future. UNITY analyzes current and future tasks and derives the necessary competencies.

Create awareness and motivate

Make employees aware of the need for change. Motivate personal development through the pursuit of common goals..

Enable and support

Enable employees to successfully meet the challenges of digital transformation. Provide support in the successful implementation in daily work.

Our Academy approach combines the needs of your employees with corporate goals. It is implemented through continuous learner journeys and it is integrated into the everyday lives of your employees using multimedia – from top management and middle management to operational and administrative staff.

This allows you to target and proactively manage the strategic development of competencies in your company. You can decide at which point in the approach you want to get started with us.

The overarching strategic competence management that is established is the link between business and HR development. Benefit from our experience in developing holistic enablement programs in combination with our in-depth industry understanding. Together with you, we develop the capabilities in your company according to your needs. This results in positive effects on your value creation and ensures that it is sustainably secured.

Management Workshops: Strategy, Organization, Team, Process

Initial Situation and Project Targets

In 2012 Romay Qingdao decided to separate the medicalbusiness from the Chinese JV company which was founded in 2004. In 2013 the biggest challenge to Romay Qingdao was to ramp up an independent production without its former JV partner, to install a production shop floor management and to ramp up new product production lines. In 2014 the top management focused on forming the local management team in becoming more independent in managing the operations and being more consistently in implementing the improvement measures. The goals of the project were to align the management team about strategies, to improve business processes and to define functioning KPI’s.

Tasks of UNITY

UNITY designed and conducted 6 individual workshops with the Romay Qingdao team and the Romay headquarter managers and experts. UNITY provided an international comprehensive project team with multiple experts from different areas – Enterprise Management, Lean Production and Process Management. Main tasks were:

Initiation of a team building process
Familiarization of managers to the Romay value system and alignment of group/company strategies with individual targets of local management team members
Initiation of a cooperative and effective leadership culture
Identification of improvement potentials
Introduction of necessary management tools

Benefits for Romay

Through this project the Romay Qingdao local team learned what team work means using brainstorming and exercises. This way they learned to simplify their everyday-work, to communicate smoothly and to share information more transparent. In cooperation with senior managers and experts from the Switzerland headquarter the local team was aligned with the "Value, Mission, Vision, Strategy" of the Romay group. Following these principals planning and activities were adjusted. Then a series of 3 workshops regarding "Process Management" were introduced to the team using the UNITY specific tool "OMEGA". These workshops trained the staff on how to analyze, control and improve potential during the process. The workshop "Management Tools" enhanced the local team’s behavior towards and their understanding of the Lean philosophy and principles using on-site observation and a JIT game.

“UNITY brought several new ideas and methodologies supporting Romay Qingdao’s local team to implement Romay group’s values, mission, vision and strategy; to strengthen the teamwork, to increase efficiency and effectivity during the daily work, to break the obstacle in the interface between departments; to learn about the specific ‘OMEGA’ tool to analyze the process, not only in production but also in the whole Romay Qingdao business process. Finally we set up individual KPI’s for each department. Doing this we installed a very well basis for future Continuous Improvement Process (CIP).”
