Automobiles & Parts, Food & Beverages, Personal & Household Goods

The broad Consumer Goods sector is a global undertaking. Pushing the speed of innovation, identifying the right product for the right market, delivering it on time, and at optimal customer value and lowest cost is vital. 

People and talent challenges

This highly complex people environment has a multitude of cultural, union and compliance challenges, and global labour arbitrage is a moving target as labour costs climb in emerging markets. There’s also increasing international pressure to demonstrate corporate social responsibility.  And as for all B2C organisations, employer brand must align with the company and its product brands, as any applicant must also be considered a potential customer.

Global organisations need a clear strategy of people management or risk severely damaging their brand locally, or worse, globally.  Success in new markets depends on the ability to integrate corporate culture, values, and processes locally, so organisations must consider the availability and readiness of experienced leaders globally, with their ability to hire and develop talent locally.
