Case Study
Sep 17, 2024
Abstract
Solution Focus Consulting Inc. (Japan) was asked to help Canon FineTech Inc. change their workplace climate and become more innovative by encouraging more lively commu- nication among the workers. CFT manufactures printing devices for copying machines and other industrial machines. They have 1600 employees and 5 sites in and outside Japan. They had tried some change work with a problem-focused approach in the previous year but in vain. SFC conducted a four month long SF Workplace Climate Change Project at one of their smaller sites (160 people). The project included surveys, training seminars and follow-up meetings. At the end of the 4 months, the survey showed 60% of the employees noticed positive changes in their workplace communication. After confirming the effect of the project, CFT is now contin- uing the project using their own resources and with as little help as possible from consultants.
