The Createch Group announces its service agreement with The Ken Blanchard Companies® to integrate the Situational Leadership® II program in its already acknowledged Daily Management System (DMS) service.
Montreal, Canada (May 17, 2010) – The Createch Group, a leading Canadian provider of supply chain optimization and information technology (IT) solution integration, signed a service agreement with The Ken Blanchard Companies, a leader in leadership training, productivity, performance and efficiency, in order to integrate the Situational Leadership® II (SLII®) program to its DMS service offering.
“SLII® is the best tool on the market. Acknowledged around the world, it will become the cornerstone on the employee development section of our Daily Operational Management services” said Normand Daoust, principal vice-president, Operational Performance Improvement, at The Createch Group.
“We are happy to have The Createch Group as a new partner offering Situational Leadership® II. Their team of seasoned professionals will be able to offer a new value added service to Quebec and Canadian organizations. This service agreement is well aligned with our strategy to develop the Canadian market” added Michel P. Archambault, district manager, Eastern Canada – The Ken Blanchard Companies.
The Createch Group will use the SLII® program in its Daily Management System (DMS) service. DMS allows organizations to eliminate the sources of variation that usually are generated by traditional management practices. Following guiding principles such as work standardization, daily control, daily communication and daily improvements, the management has solid tools to use the best known practices; to monitor its customized designated KPIs, to keep all the team aligned with the objectives and taking actions to address designated issues that are communicated seamlessly to the entire team. In this environment, SLII®, as a model and also a tool for more efficient communication, helps to develop self-autonomy and increases the frequency and quality of exchange between managers and coworkers.
“Therefore, our DMS service will use SLII® to enhance employee mobilization, to develop competencies and increase employee retention. We have to propose the best as far as methodology in this area to our clients” said Normand Daoust. “Most of the Fortune 500 companies use the SLII® model as a reference in the development and talent management area. He adds “improving daily operations is based in large part on the leadership development at the management level. Using such a tool, which has a proven track record worldwide, is a key element for our clients’ development.”
