Under the guiding principle of “distributing power to the lower level”, the “Program of Team Buidling for Infinitus Supply Chain” designed and implemented by American Management Association (China) built talent teams for manufacturing center by stages. Beyond the traditional single approach of learning and development, this program has adopted Action Learning which is a creative talent development tool combined of “project practice + coaching and mentoring + mixed training”. This program focuses on resolving practical problems in the manufacturing center, makes full use of the real situations that emphasize “learning through working, working while learning”, and closely integrates learning and development with the improvement of organizational effectiveness. It will lead the whole team to learn and share and accomplish all-around development from individuals to teams. (More information about AMA’s Action Learning, please visit www.wial-eastchina.com.)

The Benefits and Breakthroughs of This Project

As a practical program, Action Learning breaks through the managerial bottlenecks in the manufacturing department. To improve its managerial efficiency, this program drives the innovation in management, promotes the conception that “People at the next work process are your client.” and proactively leads to change, adding new models and tools for the departments’ management.

Action Learning fully exploits and integrates comprehensive advantages of a company and creates the culture that keeps initiating business. It helps to integrate the external consultants, the internal coach teams and the experts at talent development, to coach the specific talents and project teams, and to enhance the professional skills, the required capabilities, leadership and other competences.

This project will build up the complete talents escalator, navigate the talents development in supply chain and cultivate elites for future business.
