On the French side, there was uncertainty around changing focus, internal procedures, the new culture and, of course, there was fear of losing influence.<br \/>\nThe R&amp;D management team wanted to support their teams to develop an engaged and constructive attitude towards the change, and at the same time increase their influence zone.<\/p>\n<p>They choose to work with our local Solution Partner, who closely collaborated with greytogreen facilitators in the different countries.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590735478184{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;APPROACH&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:35px|text_align:left|color:%23e97726|line_height:40px&#8221; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_column_text]Together with the business leader and his team, we co-developed a modular program of four workshops, including timely debriefing sessions in order to align the management team.<\/p>\n<p>Module 1 laid the foundation, using the greytogreen approach in change, disruption and other challenging situations. In modules 2, 3 and 4, the acquired knowledge was applied to their concrete business challenges throughout the change period.<\/p>\n<p>Between modules, participants continued to apply the greytogreen approach, on their individual challenges and supporting each-other through peer-coaching and they received online questionnaires to stimulate reflection.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1590740171253{padding-top: 60px !important;padding-bottom: 60px
