Project Details
Background
G-TEKT Eastern, a automotive parts manufacturer and distributor, has been driving Digital Transformation initiatives to improve operational efficiency and support long-term growth. However, as the number of DX initiatives increased, G-TEKT faced challenges in project execution, roadmap development, and prioritization. To strengthen the understanding of management team while establishing a shared approach to align teams and drive DX initiatives in the same direction. G-TEKT worked with ASAP Project to design and deliver training and workshops aimed at enhancing the team’s DX literacy.
Challenges
• Misaligned Project Direction: Similar initiatives were being driven by different teams with varying roles and approaches, without a shared direction. This resulted in duplicated efforts across the company. • Ineffective Project Prioritization: Some initiatives were launched without clear prioritization, leading to obstacles during execution, repeated rework, and lost time and development opportunities. • Lack of Standardized Work Practices: Project owners followed different processes for execution, management, and reporting, creating inconsistencies and making it difficult to establish a shared picture.
What we did
To ensure the DX Workshop met with G-TEKT Eastern’s DX goals and challenges, ASAP Project conducted the following activities:
• Understanding G-TEKT's Challenges: Engaged with HR teams to understand their key challenges, objectives, and the capabilities they aimed to develop.
• Designing the Content and Workshop: Designed the tailored syllabus, and defined related framework, case studies and interactive activities to align with G-TEKT DX context DX initiatives, enabling participants to directly connect the learning with real-world applications.
• Workshop Facilitation Facilitated workshop and interactive activities to build a understanding of Digital Transformation, while encouraging cross-team discussion and knowledge exchange.
• Follow-up Session: Addressed post-workshop questions and challenges, providing additional guidance to support effective implementation.
Outcomes
G-TEKT Eastern strengthened its DX capabilities and developed a more structured approach to driving DX initiatives across the organization, including: • Stronger DX Alignment: Developed a shared understanding of DX, project management, and work practices to improve cross-team collaboration. • Clearer Project Structure: Introduced a structured approach to project analysis, planning, and execution, helping teams reduce ambiguity and create alignment throughout project execution. • DX Project Prioritization: Established clear priorities across 20 DX initiatives, helping teams focus efforts and allocate resources more effectively.
The workshop equipped the G-TEKT team with enhanced DX knowledge, practical tools, methodologies, and frameworks that can be applied to drive Digital Transformation initiatives in their operation.
