Cultural breakthrough: Combining people first and continuous improvement

The Gund Company's simple business approach prioritizes three things:

1. Take care of each other
2. Take care of the customer
3. Take care of the business

This virtuous cycle drives its strategic plan, key measures and daily work.

Because everything their team does starts with taking care of each other, they will review cultural touchstones, listening behaviors and the various ways the team recognizes and serves their fellow team members.

The tour will emphasize its visual management system which facilitates team member involvement while ensuring operational priorities are clear at all levels. Then, the team will review their strategic planning process, key measures and method for tracking plan execution.

The Gund Company has learned a great deal from benchmarking other high performing organizations, and its team is proud to have learned to help others on their journey.

The Gund Company manufacturers and fabricates composites primarily for industrial applications including electrical, oil and gas, and aerospace. www.thegundcompany.com
