Session: The magic mix: when multi-disciplinary teams come together to create innovation
Flexi checkout project is delivering an innovative bespoke built hardware and software for customers and colleagues, making the Coop stores truly convenient by adding the ability to self-service from any till point, whilst retaining the ability to serve in a traditional way. First to market in the UK food retail industry.
This level of innovation harnessed multidisciplinary collaboration through common values, clarity led purpose and inclusive practices.
Apart from the product innovation created, it engaged a new way of working by introducing new roles, changing team dynamics and igniting a shift in costumer behaviour. This was the result of the commitment and enactment of doing the right thing in the right way achieved through effective stakeholder management, meaningful application of change management approaches, integrity and servant leadership.
The principle applied - in all the uncertainty and fog, it is our role to stay focused, keep direction and lead through integrity bringing colleagues along with us.
