LiNA Medical – the power of project management

A successful engineering team is one that is enthusiastic and active, provided they can agree on how to collaborate to accomplish a task.

CLIENT:
LiNA Medical specialises in developing innovative, safe and easy-to-use products for the gynaecology care sector. The company was founded by Niels Kornerup in 1977 in Denmark and started by designing and manufacturing ECG electrodes. In 2005, LiNA Medical’s production facility was relocated to Poland. A branch office was opened in Sady near Poznań, comprising a modern production hall and a Business Services Centre – a global one-stop-shop. 

NEED:
The project team included a number of professionals with extensive expertise as well as a significant amount of young talent. During the work some issues with prioritizing and communicating emerged. The R&D management saw the need to clarify the project methodology. The scope included long-term projects (or programmes) for strategic customers. An additional element was to analyse the competences of project managers and find improvements in their daily work.

CHALLENGE:
How to convince a group of ambitious engineers to implement a project management methodology as a working framework.

SOLUTION:
The programme in the first phase included a set of stationary workshops such as: Retrospective, Raven 13 Simulation, Agile Training. In the next phase, we carried out an analysis of FRIS® thinking and acting styles after which we had 2 hours of meetings just for project managers to talk about how to manage teams and projects. An additional element was one-to-one consultations, which allowed individual managers to find their personal leadership and management style that matched their thinking and acting style.
