OSLO, Norway, January 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
BrightArch AS, an independent provider of data-driven organizational change solutions
and software, today announced that COWI Norway AS, an engineering consultancy, deployed
OrganizationWeaver(TM) to implement an internal career system for their employees.
OrganizationWeaver is BrightArch's software toolkit to gather, manage, and analyze
organizational data and individual input to drive meaningful change. COWI Norway
specifically deployed OrganizationWeaver Map(TM) and OrganizationWeaver Manage(TM) to
implement their career system.
Gry Slemmen, Human Resource Director at COWI Norway, said "Our goal was to ensure that
our career system was implemented in a way that engages employees, takes into account
multiple manager evaluations, and has a quality outcome. OrganizationWeaver allowed us to
accomplish these goals and complete the project in record time."
In the end, 92% of eligible employees provided their career details, 97% of managers
chosen by employees as evaluators participated, and 100% of direct line managers evaluated
their employees for the career system.
According to Tor Kielland, CEO of BrightArch, "The participation figures show that
COWI implemented a change process that was engaging and trustworthy to the entire
organization. We are very proud that COWI was able to meet their ambitious goals with the
help of OrganizationWeaver."
OrganizationWeaver Map is BrightArch's newest tool to implement data-driven
organizational changes. It is one of four core OrganizationWeaver tools that were designed
to bridge the gap between ambitious organizational change strategies and their successful
implementation.
