CFCC Featured Member: Klingborg Canada by Lauri Asikainen

Lauri shared two business cases: “Big Blast” to save a Finnish mining operation and “Productivity Improvement” process in an US machine shop. The cases demonstrated the vital importance of paying attention to people engagement prior to rushing into trying to implement the action plan.

It is about connecting all the coworkers with the goals.

 The Klingborg Group has 20 years of experience in leadership development. The consultants work with many multinational organizations. While some of the most known client companies include Nokia, Volvo, ABB and Outotec, Klingborg supports business leaders in small and medium size organizations, also.

Besides to seminar style sessions, Lauri uses online tools for training and coaching. One of the most promising new tools is training team/leadership skills through online, multi-player games. The Finnish TeamingStream has developed such a game (Novicraft), made specifically for that purpose. It is a fun serious game. For more information about the game. Please contact Lauri.
