This project required strong process design as well as facilitating skills. Our scope involved synergising the perspectives of multiple stake holders which includes family members across 2 generations as well as high potential and experienced professional leadership teams.
Our ability to sense, identify and surface undercurrents and facilitate discussions was key to the interventions success. This project in many ways was the commencement of our journey towards creating impactful interventions for conflict resolution. With a single focus – Conflict is a value eroder.
Founded in 1939 by Godrej Pallonji Joshi in Bombay, VVF has come a long way from being a small industry to a National and Global Leader in the Oleo Chemicals and Personal Care product segments. This 4000 Cr organisation with a 75 years history is headquartered in Bombay and has over 16 operating centres spread across 4 continents, namely, Asia, North America, Europe and Africa.
