How one leadership project exposed a £3.2 million risk
At Country Style Foods, Zoe Berry-Dagnall, Manufacturing Supervisor, identified an issue on the production line, which had been seen as a day-to-day nuisance. Putting a spotlight on the problem showed it was already costing just under £10,000 a year, with a potential annual exposure of £3.2 million.
Turning the issue into a leadership project
The programme gave Zoe a framework she hadn’t had before: not just to spot operational problems, but to cost them, trace their root cause, and build a stronger response with evidence behind it.
The Results
The result was not just a better understanding of the risk. Zoe also built a team that could run with far less day-to-day supervision, giving her more time to focus on bigger operational improvements and longer-term standards.
“The programme gave me the tools to spot it, cost it, and fix it.”
