Kone - International Trainee Program

Since 2005, KONE has defined specific development programs to execute its strategy and make it easier for its personnel to focus their actions on achieving the company’s objectives.

The focus of our development programs has been adjusted according to the accomplishments we have achieved and the changing business environment over time. In 2008, Customer Focus, People Flow Solutions, Environmental Excellence, Operational Excellence and People Leadership were defined as new development areas for the next three years.

The key area in Customer Focus is on increasing customer orientation in all of KONE’s operations. We have placed increased emphasis on understanding the user’s perspective. Our objective is to learn how we can improve in delivering solutions that both our customers and the users of our products will value.

People Flow Solutions comprise our comprehensive view towards a broader understanding of both user and customer needs, while seeking to improve our processes in order to maximize value for customers, users and KONE. We aim to ensure that elevators, escalators and automatic door solutions operate properly and seamlessly integrate with other building systems.

Operational Excellence aims at harmonizing our global processes to ensure that the same high quality is perceived in all our operations worldwide. We have already harmonized our logistics and manufacturing, as well as installation and maintenance methods, and will now continue this work with a focus on productivity and quality.

With People Leadership, we want to ensure that we place a very high priority on developing this important capability, and offer sufficient tools to inspire and engage our management. This concerns a broad variety of activities, from training supervisors to coaching and performance management.

In Environmental Excellence, we will continue our long history of developing eco-efficient solutions, and we will invest increasing efforts on maximizing the ecoefficiency of our own operations.
