Cultural change for innovation and growth

Cendres Metaux S A

A 135-year-old company with more than 700 employees, active in the high-quality precision micromechanical manufacturing and the recycling and processing of precious metals, C+M is embarking on a high-growth strategy to prepare for the next 135 years.

Challenge

How to accelerate innovation and empower expert technicians to deliver more and better products to customers? How to develop a culture where mistakes are seen as a source of learning and evolution instead of a cause for fear and scolding?

Key Elements
  • Develop a culture where mistakes are recognised to be OK as long as lessons are learnt and are used to improve processes and develop new products.
  • Feedback is crucial to ensure all employees learn from their attitudes and mistakes. It is impossible to learn about one’s shortcomings without the others’ inputs.
  • Tous ensemble, or All Together means just that: everyone pushes in the same direction, and the entire organisation is one team.
