The challenge

Following an organisational restructure, Servier had created a new departmental hub bringing together people with changed roles, reporting lines and working relationships.

The team needed to move quickly from simply belonging to the same structure to feeling like one hub with a shared purpose.

The priorities were clear: build genuine connection, create belonging, encourage cross-functional knowledge sharing, reduce silos and establish the mindset and behaviours that would shape how the new hub worked together.

Our approach

With only two and a half hours available within a packed agenda, the intervention needed to create momentum quickly without becoming superficial.

We designed a focused, participative experience that helped people understand what each person brought to the new team and where they could make a contribution.

The group then created a shared set of hub values, exploring what mattered to them and what those values should look like in everyday behaviour.

Finally, the team identified the opportunities created by the new structure and considered how they could collectively make the transition a positive experience.
