Innovation & Entrepreneurship Ecosystems in Croatia - HAMAG-BICRO - Apr 16 2015

"A deep dive into the transformation of Burberry. The nearly 150-year-old British manufacturer of trench coats had lost its way in 2006 and started a digital transformation, which called for a complete overhaul of its technology infrastructure from the front-end customer experience to the back-end operations and global supply chain. But while the technology initiatives that changed the major processes of the company have been widely copied by other fashion retailers, it was the cultural transformation that Burberry pursued in tandem that put the company into the Champions league of the most admired luxury brands in the world forever: placing the trench coat front of the center of the organization as an object of pride; identifying and recruiting for key business-driving roles; leveraging new capabilities to create music, movies and storytelling to speak to millennials, etc... this is a study of how brand and corporate culture trasnformed the business. Vivaldi is a global strategy firm helping companies address their toughest challenges in driving growth with expertise in brand strategy, innovation, design and cultural transformation.
