Learn lessons from manufacturing on how to empower people across teams to lead and innovate

Peak Scientific is a leading innovator in the design, manufacture and support of high performance gas generators for analytical laboratories. Head-quartered in Glasgow, Peak Scientific has a significant local presence on every continent with 20 overseas offices and employs more than 650 people worldwide. The first overseas manufacturing facility opened in Shanghai last year.

Driving innovation in manufacturing, world class technical support and on-going service care is crucial to Peak Scientific’s business model. That means empowering people across teams to lead and innovate.

In this ESRC PrOPEL Hub and InterAct Masterclass, founder and Chairman Robin MacGeachy will share insights on how Peak Scientific has embraced organisational transformation, shifting from a centralised engineering department to a distributed model where multiple work groups and teams are empowered to collaborate and drive innovation.

This session will be chaired by Professor Colin Lindsay, Deputy Director of the Scottish Centre for Employment Research at the University of Strathclyde and Director of the PrOPEL Hub.

The event is organised in collaboration between the PrOPEL Hub (www.propelhub.org) and InterAct (https://interact-hub.org/).
