“ THINK OPENLY , SOLVE PROBLEMS DIFFERENTLY , AND COLLABORATE ”

— Rebecca Chenery , Chief Digital Officer , Watercare
The company ’ s Strategic Transformation Programme , of which Paul de Quaasteniet is the Programme Director and Peter Johnston is Enterprise Change Lead , represents an overhaul of ways of working , technologies and how data is leveraged across the business . To meet the targets set out in the programme , a collaborative attitude has been essential , together with the combination of multiple teams from across the business . For example , Watercare did not want to create an ‘ innovation bubble ,’ but a cooperative , communal environment where opinions are valued and voices are heard . “ For an organisation like Watercare , which has had a number of long-tenure staff and legacy ways of working , the culture shift has been substantial ,” affirms Chenery .
