The Walter Lilly Challenge

Walter Lilly is a medium sized regional building contractor from the South East of England with over 150 staff and £70million annual turnover.  They wanted to enhance Boardroom communication in order to work as a unified team, better equipped to drive business development.  They recognised that communication could be improved and at times poor assumptions regarding mutual understanding between the long standing members of the Board existed. As Managing Director, Ron Bates explains:
“I considered we needed someone to facilitate our discussions together to give us guidance in what we would find hard to tell each other after so many years of successful business achievement.”
 

The Results - Make Your Business a Pleasure to Work For

With the help of Teamworking International’s Boardroom Facilitation, the Directors at Walter Lilly are now achieving their unified goal. In the words of Managing Director Ron Bates, that goal was: “the creation of a successful business that is a pleasure to come to work for each day.” The Board of Directors at Walter Lilly have seen a number of key breakthrough developments

• The ability to openly discuss sensitive issues that are all too often swept under the carpet

• Operating as a unified front through effective communication between board members

• Carrying the business forward to successfully achieve corporate goals despite a challenging economic climate

As the Managing Director concludes: “we are all pleased with the outcome. We Are better managers and better able to talk together and with others. I do not think we would have achieved so much as quickly without Tom Flatau.”
