KEVIN O ’ MARAH , CO-FOUNDER AND CHIEF RESEARCH OFFICER , ZERO100
“ One is that my generation can learn a lot in terms of gauging different perspectives , which is helping us to rethink how we design our supply chain to gain a competitive advantage when we are delivering to consumers . Two , we ask our reverse mentors to work on specific initiatives and we get a lot of value because it ’ s a great network of people . And three , it ’ s an opportunity for people to get immediate access to senior leaders .”
What ’ s more , Roberto points to ELC ’ s prestige performance system ( PPS ), which is coming in especially useful within the company ’ s manufacturing operation .
He describes it as application of the lean management philosophy , but with particular focus on empowering people .
“ If you visit one of our factories , you will see that the PPS is really multiplying the benefit of the investment ,” Roberto adds . “ We have a tool where , as soon as there ’ s a good idea in one place , it is shared everywhere else .
