For better and for Birse

Article Abstract:

Steve French, the culture director at Birse in Humberside, England, has worked on changing the culture of the company since 1994, and believes that the company can benefit enormously from this process. Birse suffered from a bad reputation in the industry during 1994, which was discovered after subcontractors, clients and suppliers completed a survey. Birse currently asks their clients to report on their performance on a quarterly basis and utilises a Five-Dimensional Management contract to improve its performance.

Article Abstract:
