A machine workshop that has been a sub-contractor for a few major clients mainly in Finland needed outside help for reaching its long-term growth targets and implementing the changes it required. The company is a family business that has undergone a generational transfer. The new owners are eager to grow and develop the company by developing their own products. Konsulttiyhtymä AIKA helped the company analyze the current state of its operation, the opportunities of the market situation and the targets of development necessary for reaching the goals. The result was a very broad two-year program of change where the company is developed in a systematic and coordinated fashion to clarify and reach the goals. The program of change started with clarification of the owners’ desires and the company strategy and moved on to building a management group, improving the efficiency of production and surveying for new markets. Konsulttiyhtymä AIKA was responsible for coordinating the program of change throughout the project.

Programs of change are suitable for companies that are usually 10 M€ or more in size and have several large projects of change that need to be implemented simultaneously.
