The Company announced plans to aspire to deliver from less than 6 gigawatts to 25 gigawatts of solar by 2025, a highly ambitious growth plan and one that required entering new countries, markets, supersizing projects requiring an exponential increase in internal expertise
As an organisation who recognise that their culture and people make them who they are our Client identified that a critical requirement was the development of internal capability. PBI were engaged to support this activity, our scope of work included developing Business Agility by growing a Lean and Agile Culture to optimise internal transformational capability
This case study showcases the approach PBI used to provide a structured business agility training and education programme covering all aspects of Lean & Agile ways of working. The development of the educational programme comprehended the Client’s specific requirements and their existing training programme and e-learning platform capabilities
The case study reflects the initial period of activity of a longer planned engagement
