Unilever Food Solutions journey (C): Rebuilding the team
This case series follows the journey of Unilever Foodsolutions and its President Diego Bevilacqua over a 4 year journey to build a “formidable force in foodservice.” After the first year, the C case reveals that there are still organizational issues – this time with Diego’s top team who are still not working together as an effective team. The debate is whether Diego needs to make changes to the team, even though they are delivering on their targets.
The case series is designed to introduce the concepts of strategy as a journey, and the need to engage a team/organization emotionally as well as intellectually in order to build commitment to a shared strategy. This underpins the must-win battle approach. It also highlights the need for leadership if the hurdles in the journey to transforming an organization are to be overcome.
