With the constant growth of the company and subsequent departments, we have decided to implement a series of mechanisms and established interactions that look into creating a solid bridge between the Board Committee, the Senior Management team and the Heads of Department (HOD).
The HOD Committee at Visual Method has the following objectives:
Facilitate cooperation and efficiency between different departments.
Create a solid bridge between the Senior Management team and all the Departments in the company.
Review and encourage improvements within the business.
Promote staff skills and teams' development.
A representant of each team will be part of the committee. This can be a HOD, Line Manager or other.
Each representant will be invited to be part of the HOD channel in MS Teams.
Departments/Teams:
Styling
Production Management
Client Services
3D Modelling
3D Production
Batch Output
VFX and Animation
Tech and Innovation
Creative
New Business
The following intervenients build-up the Senior Management team:
Managing Director (Board Director)
Tech and Innovation Director (Board Director)
Operations Director (Board Director)
Sales and Marketing Director (Board Director)
Creative Director
The below diagram illustrates a timeframe on when and how information will be filtered and communicated across to the relevant stakeholders.
Doesn't matter whether you are an HOD, a Line Manager or other. Each representative should have an active role in the committee and help to facilitate the exchange of information between the other representatives and their department, or vice-versa.
Filtering information from the team under you and liaising it back to the other departments' representatives (HODs).
Transmitting any relevant information from the HODs to your department.
On the second week of every month, HODs will be encouraged by Senior Management to give feedback and/or suggestions on general improvements or concerns that directly affect the business.
A reminder will be sent via MS teams channel and any feedback from HODs submitted via email to:
UK Production Director
BG Production Representative
Creative Director
The above stakeholders will filter and take action. Addressing any issues to the right HOD's that will be able to achieve a successful outcome. Actions will be addressed in the HOD MS teams channels to promote visibility.
Any topics that require Senior Management attention or input will be addressed on the 'Weekly Directors Meetings'.
