Ahold Delhaize’s Post

🌱 The Story of Connectivity in the Food Supply Chain 🌱 Yesterday, Kathryn Gramling, Americas Consumer Leader at EY, and Bill Toney, VP of Global Food Solutions and Adam Anderson, VP of Food at Avery Dennison spoke about back-of-house transformation at the 2024 Restaurant Leadership Conference. As our global population swells, the pressure on our food supply chain intensifies. Traditional methods struggle to keep pace with demand, leading to inefficiencies, waste, and uncertainty. Picture a farmer, toiling under the scorching sun, unsure if their harvest will reach its destination before spoiling. Imagine a distributor, grappling with outdated tracking systems, unable to pinpoint the source of contamination in a batch of produce. These are the challenges plaguing our food supply chain—a complex web of producers, distributors, and retailers stretched to its limits. But amidst these challenges lies a beacon of hope: connectivity. With #EverythingConnected by Avery Dennison, every node in the supply chain seamlessly communicates, eradicating inefficiencies, reducing waste, and instilling confidence. It's a vision of collaboration and transparency, where every stakeholder plays a part in nourishing our world. Together, let's rewrite the story of our food supply chain—one where connectivity, powered by Avery Dennison, transforms challenges into opportunities and ensures a sustainable future for generations to come. #EverythingConnected #Innovation #ConnectedFuture #AveryDennison #EmpoweringChange #FutureofTech #DigitalSupplyChain #GS1Standards

Leah was recently at our amazing client GPC Beverage's AOP (Annual Operating Plan) meeting & she couldn't help but notice that it seemed like practically everyone in the company had been invited. There were SO many people in the room! 🎉 Everyone in the company HAD been invited. 😎 Up until two years ago, the AOP meeting was only for senior leadership. They'd talk about how the company had performed over the previous year, what the major initiatives were for the year ahead. A speaker 🎤 would be brought in, & they'd take time for some professional development. Then a new CEO took the helm, and he wanted everyone at the company to be at that meeting. Even if it was a huge financial investment 💰 to the company. Even if everyone meant "everyone"—managers, team leads, truck drivers, warehouse personnel. The way he saw it, everyone in the company had contributed to the company's success. 🏆 Why wouldn't they be invited to a meeting where they could learn how successful they'd been, or what the company wants to accomplish next year? 💡 This is the meaning of inclusivity—that everyone at your company, no matter what their role or title is, gets the information, & gets the opportunity to be celebrated. LOVE IT. 👏👏👏 #LeadershipDevelopment #Inclusivity #Transparency #CelebrateEverythingWithEveryone

Interested, like me, in how another type of leadership can impact both your (future) organisation and personal life in order to tackle the key challenges of today and tomorrow? Let’s have a chat at the first Regenerative Leadership Conference, where I will have the honor of engaging with speakers whom I greatly admire, as well as sharing concrete examples of the implementation of these principles at Nestlé Belgium & Luxembourg... and beyond! https://lnkd.in/e99XGhEg
