Our Client
The client is a global science-driven company operating at the intersection of nutrition, health, and sustainable living. With sales of around $11 billion, its food specialties division is part of a broader chemical and life-science group recognized for developing high-impact solutions that advance well-being and environmental performance.
The Challenge
The company needed to significantly increase output—by 40% in just 12 months—without major capital investments. However, several barriers blocked progress:
- Lack of performance culture preventing consistent problem-solving and execution discipline
- Limited transparency and no integrated view of performance, hindering rapid decision-making
- Need to leverage digital and advanced analytics to improve routines, insights, and actions
- Outdated meeting structures, with unclear priorities, long durations, too many participants, and limited data integration
Real Results Achieved Together
Within six weeks, EFESO and the client co-built a digital performance control system that reshaped the daily management of the site, strengthened behaviours, and enabled fast, data-driven interventions.
