During this interactive session (a repeat of the very well received East of England branch event in June 2014), Jacqui Alexander will share the story of GSKs’ internally developed ADP initiative, which was instigated in 2009 to help GSK execute its strategy brilliantly.

A critical component of ADP is to ‘change how GSK changed’, and in so doing improve organisation ability to effectively manage and implement change in the process.

Jacqui will share how GSK started, scaled up and began to embed the ADP way of working in GSK from 2009 to date; the significant turning points; overall impact on the Business as well as key learnings as a change practitioner. The ADP ways of working are known as the ‘GSK Fundamentals of Delivery’ – a one-page definition of a simple and accessible way of working that teams can learn and apply immediately in their daily work.

What differentiates ADP from most initiatives is that it combines simple approaches drawn from organization development/change management, lean six sigma and project management underpinned by the GSK change framework. The GSK change framework creates a common language and a consistent, structured approach to change in GSK and is complemented by GSK’s six core principles for accelerating change – the first of which is that ‘all change starts with self’.

GSK has discovered that applying the approaches of project management, lean six sigma and organisation development/change management together delivers greater effectiveness and efficiency in an engaging way, which in turn results in improved capability and results.

Jacqui looks forward to sharing her story, drawing out and learning from your experience and sparking new thinking that could further our collective practice.
