Gateway / Partnership process
Why would you need to implement a Gateway / Partnership process?
Why does your company need to change at all ?
Especially if you're currently doing very well.
Why Change the way you do things ?
In todays global economy only 2 states are possible Expansion or Contraction, Drive forwards or slip Backwards
Standing still is no longer an option
Your competitors will be moving forward, the world around us moves forward on a daily basis
To simply retain what you currently have you need to expand and move forward at the same rate
To really get ahead of the game, you need to do something different: -
So you start a Lean manufacturing implementation program

6 sigma training
You get some small initial wins, but after the initial enthusiasm things start to slip due to lack of involvement and buy-in.
It seems to be left to a handful of individuals to drive change.
It is almost impossible to build anything lasting on a foundation of quicksand

For anything to endure, it must be built on a solid foundation.
This fact remains true for organisational change programs every bit as much as it does for physical structures.
If you were investing large sums of money into a new factory or office block, you would make damn sure those foundations were going to hold the thing up !

"Gateway" gives you that foundation to build your organisational change from.
"GATEWAY" = WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE MUTUAL BENEFIT OF ALL
Mutual trust and respect between the shop floor and management
A spirit based on the simple yet critical realisation that the welfare of shop floor employees and management are interdependent.
Working together in this stable environment contributes to the success of the company
The employees come to realise and are proud of the fact that they contribute directly to the companys growth
In doing so they are also improving their own tomorrows.
So What is Gateway ?
It is a process by which Employees, Unions and Management have the opportunity to be involved in shaping the future of your company TOGETHER
You decide, as a team decide what does and doesnt go into each Gateway Package If the package isnt balanced, if it does not provide a win / win for the management and employees, it doesnt go forward
It is a process specifically designed for cooperation and success for all
It is a process designed to contribute towards long term job security for all employees
