Chadwicks Group – Enabling Strategic Alignment
Breakthrough Opportunity:
Unlocking Strategic Alignment for Growth
The Chadwicks Group, a leading supplier in Dublin for building, steel, and plumbing merchants, experienced significant growth between 2015 and 2019, with turnover increasing from over €300MN to €500MN. As the company aimed for further growth, setting a revenue target of €800MN to €1BN by 2023, internal challenges became apparent. Teams across the organisation faced a lack of consensus on Chadwicks’ future direction, resulting in misalignment within the leadership team and strained dynamics that hindered success.
Amid external pressures such as Brexit, COVID-19, and challenges like skills shortages and resistance to digital adoption, Breakthrough Global partnered with Chadwicks to overcome stagnation. Despite strong financial performance, the company needed to drive cultural and strategic alignment to fully harness its growth potential.
Breakthrough approach:
Aligning Leadership for Strategic Success
Breakthrough Global implemented a tailored strategy aimed at fostering innovation, engagement, and high performance within Chadwicks. Recognising the need for leadership alignment and cultural transformation, Breakthrough focused on embedding its methodology into the existing organisational framework.
The Wave 1 Exec & Leaders Intensive Programmes aimed to align Chadwicks’ leadership with its strategic objectives, fostering a mindset of unwavering commitment to success. Following this, the Wave 1 Accelerators Programme sustained the momentum of change, driving innovation and engagement across the organisation.
In the Wave 2 Business Activation Intensive Programme, Breakthrough helped the leadership and management teams to fully integrate the high-performance culture. By using Breakthrough Tools© and fostering strategic alignment, the leadership empowered employees to achieve lasting transformation.
Breakthrough Result:
The Power of Strategic Alignment and a Unified Growth Mindset
Breakthrough’s interventions created a growth mindset within Chadwicks, overcoming internal scepticism and resistance to change. The company adapted quickly to evolving market conditions, particularly capitalising on new opportunities in the DIY & Retail sector.
By aligning leadership teams with a clear strategic direction, Chadwicks improved its prioritisation, teamwork, and overall effectiveness. The implementation of Breakthrough Tools© also led to higher levels of engagement, energising teams around the organisation’s long-term vision and 2026 growth objectives.
