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 />
