mudança de cultura

Shifting to a culture of customer-centricity, achievement & innovation.

The business challenge

When we met them in September 2018, our client was at a transition point. They had merged in 2015, and now, with a new EMEA CEO and CTO in place, they set their sights on a new operating model that required product discovery, innovation and collective ways of working to set them up for growth. They had learned from their merger experience that their current culture would not carry the organisation to where they needed to be in the future.

There were worries that culture is fluffy, will be vague, drawn-out and navel-gazing but those were all unfounded."
