Background:

The organization is among the largest private-sector fertiliser companies in India. It is a leading Agri-solutions provider, providing solutions and products for each stage of farming.

Issue:

• Misalignment of individuals with the team’s and the organization’s objectives.
• There was dissonance happening within the team, which affected the business growth.
• Difficulties in brainstorming within the team to devise the tools and strategies to cover the deficit of 12 crores.

Our Intervention:

The participants were divided into the following teams – Production, Fixed Cost, Marketing, and Procurement.

• Building Personal Lego Model: Each individual in the team built a model of how they could work towards decreasing the deficit of 12 crores.
• Sharing The Model: Everyone shared their ideas with the teams. The others listened to each other without judgements.
• Reflecting on The Model: This reflection time gave space for all the members to understand each other’s perspectives and pain points.
• They were able to identify a common objective and devised a plan to work across the different teams.
• They were asked to identify the barrier towards achieving their goal. A few of them were having strong ego positions, an inability to support cross-functional teams, closed-mindedness and indecisiveness.
