Decreased Turnover Hi Tech Manufacturing Co.
A hi-tech manufacturing company utilized
Appreciative Inquiry during a 9-month approach to
improving performance. Led by senior management,
employees were aligned around the organizations
purpose and core values. Approximately 500 people
participated in the alignment sessions, led by
internal facilitators. The results were
phenomenal.  Unwanted turnover dropped from 36
to .5 annualized over 2 years. Implementation of
a major new software system (SAP) was implemented
on time and within budget, although when
implemented in other parts of the organization it
was significantly delayed. New products were
introduced on time and within budget, and product
problems decreased significantly.
