The Challenge
Dr. Oetker is a family-run company steeped in tradition with a history stretching back more than 130 years. Headquartered in Bielefeld, Germany, the company has global subsidiaries in over 40 countries and employs more than 16,000 individuals. Today’s accelerating speed of competition, the changing needs of consumers and employees, and the increasing complexity of the business world have prompted organisations of every size to rethink work and collaboration. But unlike many traditionally-minded businesses, Dr. Oetker is facing today’s changes proactively. Over the years, Dr. Oetker has launched various initiatives to cultivate an agile work culture. But its leaders soon recognised that the entire organisation would have to take effective steps to drive sustainable change. So Dr. Oetker launched #move, a four-person team tasked with coordinating, steering, and stimulating in-house transformation. The #move team invited us to accompany Dr. Oetker on its transformation journey.
Sustainable, long-term transformation
