Weekly distant consultancy
All the versions of this article: [English] [français]
Weekly distant consultancy is a useful complement during project development as it enables:
to keep the project running during the initial planning stages
revision of forgotten or uncompleted actions
the return of an external expert’s in-put,
the elaboration of alternatives to initially suggested actions.
In order to do this, it is necessary for us always to have a link with the same person: we call that person the "Pilot".
The Pilot:
- Someone from your organisation who is essential to the production method, not necessarily management, not a shift worker, site based, or based at several sites if applicable.
- The role:
- Manage a project through the phases
- Transmit the training and decisions from one team to another
- Document the actions (e.g: tracking set-up, drafting of procedures)
- Following and carrying out action plans
- Preparing the reports for the Weekly distant consultancy,
- The selection of the right person is essential, and they must be identified at each site from the beginning of the project.
