Description of the Talk

As a multinational fast-moving consumer goods company, SCA Hygiene was confronted with the challenge of stiff competition, which called for nothing less than organizational transformation. Driven to change from the inside out, the company’s management committee engaged themselves in redefining business strategy, conducting a thorough organizational review, and crafting an organization development / change management plan. At the core of these efforts were the company’s global leadership thrusts and a local communication drive, which entailed each Mancom member to actively champion a facet of the transformation.

Performance indices such as productivity, cost effectiveness, and growth in revenues and market share showcase the success of the company’s initiatives. Today, Softee, Tork, and Tena have become part of everyday life.
