"Collaboration has increased at all levels. Open conversations are being held. Issues are being raised more regularly in a structured format. Problems are being brought up as problems to solve (mindset), being talked through and moved into solving more quickly. Leaders have developed naturally into positions of leadership through the Daily Management Systems meeting structure."
