Reviving a Slovenian food company through Systemic Thinking
Introduction
In the heart of Slovenia, a prominent food processing company with 500 dedicated employees faced a pivotal challenge. Despite its legacy and strong local presence, the organization needed help adapting to the global food industry's rapid changes and boosting its exports. The need for agility, innovation, and a strategic pivot toward export-oriented growth was evident. Systemic Rebels was brought on board to unlock the company's potential and chart a new path toward a thriving future.
The Challenge
The company, a key player in the Slovenian food industry, was at a crossroads. Global competition, evolving consumer preferences, and a need for more strategic direction in sales and export initiatives were stifling growth. The leadership team recognized the urgent need for transformation. Still, it was entangled by traditional operational models and founding principles and needed clarification about the path forward.
The Approach
Our intervention began with a systemic interview with the CEO to delve into the underlying business challenges and systemic dynamics influencing the organization. This initial phase was crucial for understanding the company's unique context and leadership vision.
Subsequently, we embarked on a four-day immersive workshop with the management team, custom-designed to blend the principles of the reinvention method, systemic work, and design thinking. These sessions were meticulously crafted to unearth the limiting dynamics within the organization and foster a culture of open innovation and agility.
The Solution
We collectively identified the core systemic barriers hindering the organization's growth and agility through the workshops. The breakthrough came with co-creating a new operational roadmap, emphasizing a more agile, responsive way of working within the management team. Additionally, a strategic action plan was developed to pivot the company towards an export-oriented approach to capture new markets and respond dynamically to international trends.
The Results
The outcome of our collaboration was transformative:
A New Roadmap: The management team was equipped with a concrete, agile operational framework tailored to foster rapid decision-making, innovation, and adaptability to market changes.
Strategic Export Orientation: The action plan laid the foundation for a robust sales strategy, focused on expanding the company's footprint in international markets and capitalizing on global opportunities.
