Objectives

• Enable systemic decision making: Equip teams to integrate siloed data into strategic decisions using system dynamics modeling, identifying value chain risks and opportunities.

• Implement agile resilience: Deploy an agri adapted agile framework with circularity principles to balance innovation with the stability of long cycle agrifood operations.

• Drive cultural alignment: Overcome change fatigue through leadership coaching and coalition building, fostering a shared vision for sustainable transformation.

Outcomes

• Unified decision making, with 80%+ of leadership teams reporting clarity on systemic risks and opportunities.

• Operational improvements, such as 10–20% gains in supply chain efficiency or innovation speed.

• High employee adoption of new processes, targeting 70%+ uptake within 6 months.

• Foundation for sustained resilience, enabling adaptation to market and technological shifts.

Impacts

• Enhanced organizational resilience and competitiveness in the agrifood sector.

• Contribution to circular economy and sustainability goals, aligning with EU priorities like Green Deal.

• Economic benefits through optimized operations, innovation and job creation.

Duration

• 12-16 Weeks: Diagnostics and system mapping (4 weeks), agile framework and management classes (6-8 weeks), leadership coaching and coalition building (4 weeks), tailored to organizational scale.
