In just 12 weeks, more than 100,000 individual components were manufactured by McLaren at a time when sport was shutdown.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, the VentilatorChallengeUK consortium, of which McLaren was a key part, ventilator production in the UK went from 50 a week to 200 a day, with stock available to the NHS doubled to 13,437.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Key Takeaways\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the early weeks down on the factory floor, it was important to understand the nature of the task and formulate workstreams that enabled simplicity of focus, whether that be machined, fabricated, electrical or proprietary components. McLaren also identified constraints to ensure there was expert help on hand to ensure supply chains were maintained and the consortium could achieve the build volume.<\/p>\n<p>As for challenges, they were largely rooted in unknowns and uncertainties \u2013 things inevitably went wrong at times \u2013 but were best approached by McLaren\u2019s flat team structure and culture of empowering their staff. \u201cWe\u2019re not ventilator experts but we\u2019re pretty comfortable at running towards a problem and breaking it down to find the issue, break it down, fix it, and move on,\u201d says Thynne.<\/p>\n<p>The welfare staff was also important in a work-from-home environment at a time when it was full on. McLaren made sure they were checking in on everyone. As Thynne says: \u201ca problem shared is a good way to unlock it.\u201d There was also a sense of pride at joining a national effort and deploying the right task to the right person. Again, it comes down to clarity of purpose, simplicity of approach, and engendering trust.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\n                            \n                            \n                            \n                                                    <\/div>\n                                        <div class=\"col visibly-hidden col--flex-align-right\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":2382,"menu_order":0,"template":"","categories":[23,20,33],"pathway":[],"topic":[],"sport":[],"class_list":["post-2381","vlog","type-vlog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-data-innovation","category-leadership-culture-performance","category-summit-session"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Virtual Leaders Meet Total High Performance: Lessons in Team Agility &amp;
