ABSTRACT
From the beginning of the project, there had been a clear understanding between the steering team and all the relevant stakeholders that they wanted the plants to work across borders, and that a strengthened global team spirit should characterize the shape of the pilot project. One of the paramount goals, then, would be to strengthen unity across nationalities and cultures. Based on this clear objective, it was decided that the project model should be molded around collaborative workshops at which, together with their counterparts from all the other plants, the Learning Center consultants would develop the internal concepts, the global job trainers (GJTs) would create and explore the process of making Job Breakdowns for training, and the functional area master trainers (FAMTs) would develop the trainer recruitment plans and the classroom training material for mold setters. The word together was the key concept, and team members from all of the plants would be equally involved with equal voices. This created a unique work environment and a profound wish to demonstrate that our motto, “The more we share, the more we get,” was, in fact, more than just a platitude, but a concept that could be acted on and would create the future culture of the Global LEGO Training Organization.
