The concept of Enterprise Transformation is based on the ability of firms to take a fresh look at how their employees work to create value for the company and how the company responds by providing increased value back to the worker. The introduction of specialized training for employee involvement in decision making that directly affects them can provide significant improvements in the workplace environment; such practices can transform an organization, an industry or an entire region.
Enterprise transformation is reflective of a high standard of leadership as well as social responsibility. It is built on the key relationships among multi-stakeholder groups in typically low-wage / low-margin sectors. Involvement in these initiatives acknowledges the need for a transformative approach commensurate with changing workforce demographics.
How successful are these initiatives?
In terms of employee satisfaction and retention and creating high performance work practices, enterprise transformation pays off socially, ethically and economically over the long term. Private sector companies all over Canada and throughout North America have benefited from enterprise transformation approaches. Studies in various industries have found significantly heightened levels of quality and productivity, improvements in operating time, higher per- employee sales, reduced employee turnover, higher customer retention and greater competitive advantage through activities associated with enterprise transformation.

How does COS enable enterprise transformation?
COS helps to transform workplace culture through the application of best practices in the areas of employee empowerment and participatory management.
We have designed and will deliver specialized and customized training and workforce development programs that build the skills for transforming and sustaining participative workplaces in low-wage and low-margin industries.
We’re doing this already, why should we call on COS?
If you are on the road to inspiring and educating your employees and have succeeded in developing HR systems and training that consistently support your good intentions, we salute you.
Our experience and background in providing help to organizations like yours has given us a wealth of information and best-practices knowledge that might help to speed your efforts and keep you from taking a wrong turn.
COS will work with qualified Manitoba firms to provide:
- on-site model organizational review
- provision of best-practices models
- definition and training in effective performance management systems
- assistance in securing appropriate resources for plan implementation
Enterprise transformation work can often provide the framework and initial starting point for succession planning. Private companies with a management and/or owner team who are looking to retirement within the next 5-10 years would also benefit from transformation assessment and if necessary intervention consulting.
