My name is Stephanie Penning and I have been working with the<br />

<strong>ECR</strong> EU Learning & Development Initiatives for over eight<br />

years – firstly developing the framework for the national learning<br />

programmes; then becoming the manager (now development director)<br />

for the global executive development programme.<br />

Over the years, this programme has developed into the “<strong>ECR</strong><br />

LaB: Leading across Boundaries Programme” that we know<br />

today. <strong>ECR</strong> <strong>AP</strong> People Excellence Committee is an integral part<br />

of the Steering Committee that stewards the development of a<br />

relevant curriculum and it will be the first time in 2012 that one<br />

week of the program will be held in Asia in Singapore.<br />

Its predecessor (the “Progressive <strong>Management</strong> Programme”)<br />

hosted 100 delegates from the Consumer Goods Sector through<br />

interactive modules focusing on subjects relating to the whole<br />

Consumer Value <strong>Chain</strong>. These delegates now form the <strong>ECR</strong><br />

Alumni, who, in their turn, assist the development team to shape<br />

the <strong>ECR</strong> LaB Programme of today.<br />

As with all <strong>ECR</strong> initiatives, the <strong>ECR</strong> LaB Programme is itself a<br />

collaboration – between the <strong>ECR</strong> Executive Board and LaB<br />

Team, with the world-renowned INSEAD Business School, plus<br />

leading companies in the Consumer Goods Sector.<br />

The <strong>ECR</strong> LaB Programme is...<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

for high-potential executives in Consumer Goods companies;<br />

for crossing new boundaries: within companies; with<br />

trading partners - globally<br />

a ‘LaBoratory’: an exploratory environment – to discover<br />

& try out new ideas<br />

an analysis of the Key Leadership Duality – change what<br />

needs to change; keep what works<br />

<br />

<br />

a transition towards delegates’ own visions – from studying<br />

ideas of others’<br />

complements company leadership programmes – a joint<br />

experience for delegates from different companies, forging<br />

strong relationships during (and after) the Programme<br />

I continue to work with this Programme as I believe it is fundamental<br />

in supporting Consumer Goods companies to prepare their<br />

high-potential executives to become their Leaders of the Future –<br />

placing their companies at the top of the Sector.<br />

Previous delegates have gained many, many benefits<br />

and have become strong ambassadors of the<br />

Programme, commenting:<br />

“I am creating a step-change in Category <strong>Management</strong><br />

in Central Europe, using Consumer Insights<br />

and Fair Process concepts learned during<br />

the Programme - in collaboration with a Supplier<br />

met on the Programme, then with other Suppliers.”<br />

Anna from Tesco in Poland<br />

“Having already created a collaborative Task<br />

Force with a Retailer during the Programme, use<br />

our insights and time in store, then work on ranges,<br />

planograms, etc. Implement this elsewhere,<br />

creating a pool of global experts to work with our<br />

customers.” Jon from Coca-Cola in Great<br />

Britain<br />

“After this Programme, I can now be a Strategic<br />

Change Agent in my company, developing differentiating<br />

policies, becoming consumer- led every<br />

day!” Paolo from Barilla in Italy<br />
