Supply Chain Transformation Through People

At a beverage manufacturer, rapid growth demanded a more scalable, disciplined supply chain—without losing the entrepreneurial drive that fueled early success.

Let’s Talk

When Growth Outpaces the Operating Model

Operations rooted in a start-up mindset could no longer meet fast-rising demand. To protect future market share, the company needed to modernize structure, roles, skills, processes, technology, and mindsets—and align teams to five future-state behaviors: end-to-end supply chain comprehension, cross-functional collaboration, process discipline, transparency, and data quality and integrity.

The Ask

Design and activate a people-centered transformation that:

  • Defines a clear future state, then sequences org, role, and process changes to get there.
  • Builds change leadership, engagement, and communications as an integrated engine.
  • Establishes reusable patterns (cadence, toolkits, governance) so momentum compounds over time.

The Approach

Define the strategy. We defined the future state and role/structure alignment; defined how people will shift to new ways of working.

Align the organization. Starting with the value-delivery model and leadership structure, we moved into role design and detailed design and implementation—then supported implementation by aligning leaders, training for new roles, and aligning people practices (rewards, performance, career).

Engage your people. activated a predictable engagement cadence, enabled leaders and teams with coaching and toolkits to empower them throughout the transformation. A dedicated planning function, stakeholder engagement plans, and a champion network kept feedback flowing and decisions clear.

Implement your plan.  We built memorable on-brand assets paired with integrated experiences and communications (lunch & learns, demos, cross-functional connection, and a one-stop portal) to maintain awareness, confidence, and sustain measurable adoption and new ways of working.

The Outcome

  • Enterprise alignment. Leaders and teams rallied around the same future state and the five behaviors that drive it.
  • Operational discipline that travels. Clear roles, accountabilities, and processes improved cross-functional flow and decision rights.
  • Sustained capability. A planning function, champion network, and integrated comms model kept momentum—and the transformation—alive beyond go-live.
  • Reusable playbook. The cadence, portal, and engagement tactics became blueprints for subsequent initiatives across the supply chain.
