Case Study – Arla
Building branded growth and transforming delivery accuracy
Transforming delivery accuracy
Hurrell Associates worked with us to develop a cross-functional team that works across the whole of the supply chain in milk. We were working in a disjointed way, we needed to improve our alignment to strengthen our performance. We realised there was a lack of clarity in the strategy across the business, which resulted in our ambitions not always being supported.
We brought the full team together, off-site to spend some real time together, we united everyone in a common goal, we created the milk story with a focus on our ‘North Star’ that everyone is now working towards. We built a clear plan to deliver this, we built the behaviour that would set us up for success and enable delivery. The programme inspired our team, shifted our ways of working and transformed our delivery accuracy!
Getting back to branded growth
Following a challenging trading period through the cost of living crisis, we needed an aligned plan and vision for how we were going to return to branded growth.
At the end of 2022 we worked together as a team to create a compelling change story for 2023. The story was brought to life, replayed and re-iterated by everyone so we all felt really confident in the message. This shared vision has been cascaded through the business and is now a common language across the commercial teams. It took only one day to become truly aligned and confident as a leadership team. Everyone is now pulling in the same direction with the same goal, this has resulted in a significant swing in our numbers – we are back into growth!
"
It’s so important for business to stay agile, adapt and change to the constantly changing environment. I’ve been lucky to work with Hurrell Associates to do this in two key areas. In both situations we needed clarity as teams on how we are going to realise our big ambitions.
Phillippa delivers the program with incredibly infectious energy, enthusiasm, respect for the challenge, and grit to get us to a clear actionable plan.
