Danone – Providing Sustainable Leadership Development

 

Danone
Breakthrough Opportunity:

Danone Group came to Breakthrough at a time of major strategic change. They wanted to build a New Danone; Bringing Health Through Food. Danone are proud of their organisational values, but realised that they needed to transform their culture to energise this ambitious strategic change. 

Danone identified sustainable leadership development as the key to their transformation, and as an outcome of their initial Breakthrough Programme, they created the Danone Leadership College (DLC) to leverage the talent of their leaders to achieve business success.

Breakthrough approach:

We worked closely with the central design team and partnered with individual business units worldwide to identify the specific behavioural changes necessary to embed Danone’s distinctive ‘Leadership Culture’. Once defined, we mapped specific Breakthrough Tools and Technology against this leader framework. 

  • With the help of a Global Design Team, each behaviour was fully defined at a Central L&D level to include 4-6 detailed facets within each behaviour. This included leaders from across the Business and Breakthrough. Breakthrough Tools were mapped against each of the four leadership behaviours. 
  • This was deployed through a customised Breakthrough T3 Programme including European-wide licensing, Breakthrough events and Internal Facilitator-led sessions. 
  • Over 500 Internal Facilitators were trained and accredited in the Breakthrough Tools. 
  • Customised added value material including Toolkit cards, videos and bespoke anchoring materials were distributed across the business.
