How to kickstart a revolution... I’ve just read several books on D&I (for those not in the know, that’s diversity and inclusion). I get it. I believe in it. I’m all for it. But the books failed to ignite me. So here’s my take on the business case for psychological safety, where D&I is baked in. It might be true, or it might be business folklore… Many years ago, L’Oréal (of hair and beauty fame) invited all their movers and shakers to a huge conference in an exotic country. Their aim was to come up with a snazzy new marketing campaign and a strapline for the perplexing problem they had: their products were a little bit more expensive than their competitors. Therefore, the question was, why on earth should customers pay extra for a L’Oréal product? Three days later, the great and the good had brainstormed, thought outside the box and done blue-sky thinking until the clouds had rolled in. And still no magic strapline! The conference came to an end and the 300 great and good threw back their coiffured locks and traipsed out of the resort, their creativity battered and beaten. The lady on reception saw that they were so downbeat and asked one of the delegates what was wrong. “We’ve just spent three days trying to come up with a marketing campaign that will persuade our customers to spend extra on L’Oréal products. I mean, why should you?” Apparently the receptionist (a non-L’Oréal employee) shrugged and offered, “Because you’re worth it?” Boom! A slogan was born and a global campaign launched. The moral of the story is that sometimes the best solutions come from the most unlikely places. If you create a team environment where everyone feels included, stunning ideas will fizz and buzz into existence. Our flagship workshop, THE ART OF BEING BRILLIANT, creates the perfect environment for THAT team to develop. It It’s the key to high performance, creativity and taps in to all those extra mile behaviours that make your team world class. Treat your team or your entire organization to the best training in the world. Why? Because you’re worth it! Andy x

👁️🗨️ Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit L'Oréal Nordics in their Copenhagen office as a case study to see their vision and take on #CSR. It was interesting to see how companies of such a big scale integrate these principles into their business model. How do they approach the risks in and outside the EU? To give us a glimpse of the insights, they prepared an interactive game to understand what challenges lie on the way to creating a #sustainable business from upstream to downstream. 🖇 By standing in front of people who make very important decisions in terms of #sustainability and social impacts, I wondered about many ethical, quantitative, creative, and entrepreneurial questions. Although the only way to really know the answers is to look forward to the results of actions, I appreciated that they were open about their #learning process and transparent that they didn’t know all the answers yet. As they said, “We must feel comfortable with failure,” I imagine for the sake of #innovation. 👀 But of course, we are talking about a company with huge profits. Expectations about their actions and investments in a better future are respectfully huge.

HR and Business leaders in Beauty industry? This is a great case study to replicate this success in the business!
Creating Breakthroughs by Leaders, Strategy & Incredible Digital Products, Services | TEDx & Keynote Speaker | CIO
Uncover the $21.9M to $294.2M loss of Revlon's massive net loss And how did L'Oréal turn similar challenges into growth? Beauty Industry and Senior Leadership Insights, McKinsey & Company found that 43% of beauty companies experienced a decline in revenue due to leadership failures. Impacts on business Revenue due to Senior Leadership Failure Due to senior leadership failure, Revlon’s net loss widened from $21.9 million in 2016 to $294.2 million in 2018. Why? Failure to Innovate: Revlon’s leadership struggled to innovate and keep up with rapidly changing consumer preferences and the rise of indie beauty brands. This led to a loss of market share. Ineffective Digital Strategy: The leadership failed to invest adequately in digital marketing and e-commerce, missing out on the growing online shopping trend and influencer-driven marketing. Financial Mismanagement: Revlon experienced high debt levels and liquidity issues, which were exacerbated by poor financial management and strategic decisions that did not yield the expected returns. How to avoid such revenue loss? The solution is to develop a strong pillar, "Discipline People," taking the senior leadership team as the core brick to form the workforce flywheel effect in business. Here is a success story of another beauty company who did that. L'Oréal successfully implemented a strategy focusing on digital transformation, innovation, and sustainability to navigate similar industry challenges and drive growth. Senior leadership team's top 3 focuses Digital Transformation: L’Oréal invested heavily in digital technologies, enhancing its e-commerce capabilities and leveraging data analytics to understand consumer preferences better. The company also embraced social media and influencer marketing. Innovation: L’Oréal consistently innovated its product lines, focusing on cutting-edge beauty technologies and personalized beauty solutions. The company invested in R&D to stay ahead of trends and consumer demands. Sustainability: L’Oréal committed to sustainability, launching initiatives like the "Sharing Beauty With All" program, which focused on reducing the environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices across the value chain. P.S. Among those strategies, which one will be most affordable for you to apply to your company?

COMPETE or COLLABORATE? 🤔💄 The recent story from Louise Elineau-Bleu and Yves Rocher offering some other beauty brands on their website has inspired me to write this post. Today the lines between competition and collaboration are becoming increasingly blurred. While competing fiercely to stay ahead of the game has always been a hallmark of beauty business, collaboration — even with competitors — can be the secret to long-term success. Here's why: 1. Expanding Market Reach Together 🌍 When competitors join forces, they can tap into each other's customer base, geographic markets, and resources. This kind of partnership opens doors to new markets that might be hard to enter alone, helping brands grow and innovate faster. 2. Sharing Innovation & Expertise 🧪🧠 By working together, beauty brands can pool their expertise, whether in R&D, sustainability, or product development. For instance, brands can share insights on eco-friendly packaging or clean beauty formulations, driving the entire industry forward while keeping pace with consumer demand for more ethical choices. 3. Cost Efficiency & Resource Optimization 💰 Joint ventures or collaborations allow companies to share production facilities, supply chains, and even marketing efforts, leading to reduced costs and increased efficiencies. This is especially beneficial in sectors like sustainable beauty, where production can be more expensive due to high-quality, eco-friendly materials. 4. Sustainability Goals 🌱 Collaborating on sustainable practices allows beauty competitors to make a broader impact together, benefiting not only their brands but also the environment. It creates an opportunity to shift from simply “competing” to creating a collective purpose that resonates with today's environmentally conscious consumers. 💡 Successful Collaborations: 1. La French Beauty, la coloc beauté engagée Many independent brands are presented in one physical space and implement together marketing initiatives, such as participation in the trade shows. 2. The Fashion Pact Fashion brands get together to work towards nature positive fashion. This collaboration showed that even fierce competitors can work together for the greater good of the industry and the planet. 🌎♻️ Why Collaboration is Key in Beauty 💡 In an industry where trends move fast and innovation is key, collaboration between competitors can actually enhance competitiveness. Instead of working in isolation, beauty brands that embrace coopetition (cooperative competition) can push boundaries and set new benchmarks for the entire industry. At the end of the day, it’s not just about winning or losing—it’s about thriving together. 💪💕 #BeautyBusiness #IndustryInnovation #Collaboration
