PERSONAL CARE CASE STUDY

The business challenge

Our client, already owners of two high-profile personal care brands, acquired a new organisation. With this acquisition, our client became one of the world’s preeminent Greater Good organisations, with a purpose to nurture beauty and relationships for a better way of living and doing business.

With these distinctive, successful and strong brands the challenge for Group was to quickly understand and align on the key elements that connect the brands, leveraging the things that could elevate the whole organisation, whilst simultaneously empowering each brand to thrive longer term. They wanted to avoid the risk of stifling any of these brands as a result of the merger.

Workstreams

• Established the Group Operating Committee as a high performing team. Identified ways of working and group standards to see the team through the merger process and beyond. Worked with them to become exemplars of the group beliefs and purpose through their behaviours, using team workshops, individual advisory coaching and team observation to reinforce, refine and challenge them to achieve their goal to embed the values and purpose deeply into all aspects of the business during integration.
  
  
• Leadership Engagement - brought together 100+ leaders from three brands in a group event. This event focused on connecting people across brands, creating opportunities for collaboration and mutual influence. It encouraged appreciation of the differences whilst finding a common passion. It created a sense of belonging to a larger group with a clear purpose beyond individual companies.
