Vestas is the only global energy company dedicated exclusively to wind energy. Vestas employs people at the company’s service and project sites, research facilities, factories and offices all over the world.

Since 2006, C3 Consulting has solved a wide range of tasks for Vestas' different business units in and outside Denmark.

Read more about some of the training programmes we've delivered:

• Cross-cultural teambuilding for a new technology team
• Cultural training spanning Russia, Spain, and Denmark
• Chinese cultural training for various groups of Vestas managers and employees
• Improving virtual collaboration for a Vestas global team

When Vestas Technology developed a new wind turbine in China, C3 Consulting carried out a cross-cultural teambuilding programme for the new technology team. The programme helped ensure that the cross-cultural team was quickly established, and that the working pace was fast.

Feedback from the team members:

This has accelerated the pace with which we could work

"C3 Consulting has made a great contribution to the success of developing our new Wind Turbine for China. The very intensive cultural transition and teambuilding program carried out by C3 has had a tremendous impact on how quick the new Technology team was formed.

This has accelerated the pace with which we could work. The team members often refer back to this as one of the key events in their transition into China and forming the network."

An entirely new view of the value of a multi-cultural team

"As a professional training session, Global Team Development provides an entirely new view of the value of a multi-cultural team, reveals the potential conflicts in integration, communication, international cooperation and provides the solution on playing a successful role in the cross-cultural environment.

C3 contributes greatly in designing the workshop with vivid games and discussions to emphasis the importance of team power and compromise to achieve a Team Target."

As Vestas was building a new plant in Ulyanovsk (Russia), and the employees at Vestas' plant in Daimiel (Spain) were working with their new Russian colleagues on training and knowledge transfer, C3's Russia specialist Helena Drewes was:

• training the Russian staff in intercultural communication + Vestas' values,
• training the Spanish staff in Russian culture,
• providing intercultural training for the project managers in Denmark,
• and doing 1:1 intercultural coaching with the Spanish plant manager.

C3's 4R Model formed the backbone of all the training, providing Vestas' employees with a common platform to enhance communication and collaboration.

Project leader at Vestas Max Lehmann says about the training:

"I have been working with Helena in Russia / Ulyanovsk, to support with Culture training for new hired Russian Employees and Managers, to prepare them for training in Europe / Spain and Russia for Vestas.

Helena has also trained Spanish Employees / Managers to prepare them for Russian culture, and has been coaching the Factory Manager, to be prepared for the culture challenges in Russia, during hiring, organization set-up and building up the Management group.

During the Culture Training projects, Helena has shown a great performance, to organize, plan and follow up on the training scope, and has been given a high valued feedback after the courses.

Helena has a high-performance level, flexible, and a very serious attitude to ensure the quality and detailed training, at all time. Helena has very good training skills, and her personal attitude and cooperation with me and the Managers is on high level, and very positive."
