[OSList] advice and courage

This could be fun. Two thoughts immediately spring to mind. 1st and Best --
How about a 2 day Open Space with "all hands" (not just the managers) with a
theme something like, "Building the Best Ships: Issues and Opportunities."
You would get some real work done, motivation would be a natural byproduct,
and everybody would have fun. I've never worked in a shipyard this way --
but it did remind me of the 500 Boeing Engineers, mechanics, and managers
who got together for several days and redesigned the way they made doors for
their aircraft. Of course you could do the same thing with just the
managers, but that wouldn't be as effective or fun -- therefore the 2nd Best
idea.

Hi wise people.

I ve been i an meeting today with a production leader in a big shipyard.
They are in for a year with heavy work, and want to start i january with a
couple of days to motivate and empower the leaderteam in the production.
This is in mainly operational leaders, on the floor. The group is about 20
people.

They are used to Quite a hiarcic organisation, but are sometimes working in
a projects, and sometimes in the line ( if that make sence)

The production leader and HR manager want to do use some of the time, thise
two days, to really emphasize the impotance of work moral, short brakes and
fleksebillity, and accountability fram everyone.

And then they ask me what I can offer?

Are any of you motivated to join in with some thoughts or Ideas here? Im not
sure how to approach this.

All the best from
Hege

( will be away for a couple of days...)
