"It
was the best workshop I've ever attended
and well worth the time invested."
AREVA T&D Customer Testimonial
Continuous Performance Improvement
The following continuous performance improvement testimonial was provided to AGILEAN by Larry Cochrane, Vice President of AREVA T&D Worldwide Research & Development.
“AREVA T&D Corporation is a premier provider of solutions
for the global energy market. As a wholly owned subsidiary
of AREVA, we offer a complete range of electrical software
and hardware, products and services.
“Traditionally, each of our five R&D offices located in
three countries participated in independent market segments
with minimum overlap. Today, there is increasing customer
demand for a totally integrated suite of energy trading,
generation, transmission, and distribution applications.
“To tackle these new demands our five international R&D
offices need to act as one. I asked AGILEAN to help launch a
program of continuous performance improvement to attain CMMI
Level 3 capabilities and dramatically increase office
synergies. AGILEAN made an immediate difference. Interviews
AGILEAN conducted with R&D staff and stakeholders at each of
site established our current baseline; and also educated and
motivated employees on the need and benefit of change.
“From the knowledge of our operations, AGILEAN designed and
facilitated a five day performance improvement workshop. It
was the best workshop I’ve ever attended and well worth the
time invested. AGILEAN quickly brought individuals together
as a team, built consensus on the issues, facilitated a
strategy for their resolution, and coordinated the defining
actions to make it happen.
“Thanks to AGILEAN we have the direction and momentum to
implement significant change on a worldwide basis. We are
now positioned to continuously improve the capabilities of
the R&D organization and meet the competitive challenges of
the world’s energy markets.”
