Danone QFS develops alignment, a common vision and leadership

Valérie Sieurin: "I decided to work with Thomas Benedict from InContext in a series of workshops to develop my organization in these areas. The first thing I liked was that the consultant did not take my own program and dive into a session, but asked to interview my Quality Directors first, before we decided on a final program.

The sessions were intensive: we developed an enormous amount of alignment and the deliverables were impressive, but some raw nerves and deep challenges became visible as well. Throughout this process, the consultant was direct, respectful, energetic, transparent, and able to look at us from a process point-of-view. He helped us navigate difficult areas and to resolve entrenched issues."

"In the last months, the Quality and Food Safety organization has made enormous steps forward. There is a shared vision, we use golden rules and we focus on our priorities. This is not only visible within QFS, but is noticeable throughout Danone Baby Nutrition. Our work with InContext has contributed significantly to this.

I would recommend Thomas as a consultant to any global team with different cultures that needs to improve and succeed together, except in organizations that are very stiff and formal."
