De'Longhi Group’s Post

Thank you Harvard Business School for hosting a thought-provoking Global Families in Business Conference. It was an honor to hear from business leaders like Kumar Mangalam, Chair of Aditya Birla Group, and Riccardo Illy, President of Gruppo Illy, and Chris Davis, CMO at New Balance! The discussion on the significance of understanding people in business was insightful, as "cultures eat strategy for breakfast." Without understanding people, it's impossible to truly understand business. One key takeaway was the importance of leading within your role, regardless of your position. From CEO to entry-level employees, everyone has the opportunity to lead and make a difference, especially in legacy businesses. Intentionality and flexibility were also discussed as crucial aspects of successful business. Being intentional about your leadership style and decisions, while also remaining flexible enough to adapt to changing circumstances, can set you apart from the competition. Lastly, we explored the power of brand positioning and strategy. With the right positioning, product and strategy, everything else falls into place. Overall, the conference was a great experience and I'm grateful for the valuable insights shared. #GlobalFamilyinBusinessConference #BusinessStrategies #Leadership #BrandPositioning #globalbusiness

The historical promise of Category Management has been to improve business performance by meeting the emerging needs of consumers (now shoppers). Lately, the CPG industry has been challenged by accelerating disruptive change. So why do most manufacturers and retailers devote so much time and effort looking backward rather than bringing forward bold ideas based on fresh insights about emerging shopper trends? Please join Andrew McKeon from The Kraft Heinz Company and Russ Onish from Vista Grande on Day 1 of the #CMAConference in Landmark A as they illustrate how they’ve used WHAT IF thinking to develop future-forward initiatives, including a next-generation Mexican Foods Aisle Design. In addition to the specific details of these initiatives, we will suggest best practices for organizations of all sizes to improve their WHAT IF approach to category leadership.

COFFEE CULTURE - any leader working in the Food & Beverage industry recognizes how critical #culture is. Culture empowers and ignites the commitment of your people to deliver the very best differentiated experience. It really is that simple. A fun start to a rainy Monday chatting with the spirited CEO of Balzac's Coffee Ltd, Christine Cruz-Clarke. Christine is an embodiment of drive, passion and customer-centric leadership. She also has empathy and smarts in abundance. The delicious latte and almond croissant from their location in the Distillery District was an added bonus. How does your culture grow passionately loyal employees, customers and partners for your business? #strategy #leadership #mutuality #growth

As we enter a period of potentially low/no growth, the battle is increasingly about growing market share rather than rising with the tide. How can organisations accelerate a culture of innovation and creative thinking? And what does this mean for the way consumer businesses behave, organise themselves and build the right talent? We assembled a group of leaders from the consumer package goods world to explore these challenges. Some great insights emerged around how to drive innovation organisationally, the critical role of leadership in defining an innovation culture, shaping the right mindset and of course the central role that culture plays. We heard about the balance between “Iteration, Renovation and Revolution”. We heard how important courage and risk taking is. We even heard how the term “innovation” can sometimes send the wrong signals. Around the table we had leaders from a wide range of consumer packaged goods businesses - Kimberly Clark, Haribo, Danone, Burt’s Snacks, AB InBev, Kraft Heinz Company, Kellanova, Rebel Brands and Kerry Foods - as well as the expert views of Audacity Partners' Alfredo Trivino and Korn Ferry colleagues Grant Duncan, Wil Schoenmakers, Stuart Richards and Margarita Koshman. Many thanks to everyone for a stimulating discussion.   #Leadership #Innovation
