Experience with The Coca-Cola Company - Andrea Crossley

Co-Creating Global Gender Leadership Strategy

CPG | Global Women's Leadership Council | 2018

The Coca-Cola Company sought to evolve its Global Women's Leadership Council from a successful advocacy initiative into a strategic driver of organizational transformation. As the council expanded its focus beyond women to foster a more inclusive leadership culture, it needed a clear vision, strategic priorities and a collaborative roadmap to accelerate gender equity across the organization.


We brought together senior leaders to redefine the council's purpose, co-create a shared vision and translate insights into an actionable strategy.

How we did it

Discover & Frame

Analyzed organizational challenges, leadership data and diversity barriers to identify the key opportunities preventing greater gender representation in leadership roles.

Co-Create the Vision

Facilitated collaborative sessions to define a bold ambition, articulate the council's purpose and establish the principles that would guide its future evolution toward a more inclusive leadership culture.

Design the Strategic Roadmap

Turned ideas into a structured transformation strategy, defining five strategic "Big Bets," priority initiatives and a new operating approach to guide implementation.

OUTCOME

The initiative aligned global leaders around a shared vision for gender equity, transforming the council into a strategic platform for organizational change. The resulting roadmap established clear priorities, actionable initiatives and a long-term direction to accelerate inclusive leadership across The Company.
