Change-makers in focus

Growing your leadership through language

How we help:

Coca-Cola FEMSA partnered with Hult EF Corporate Education to co-design and deliver a leader acceleration program – a comprehensive, scalable, and customized blueprint for the development of key talent within the organization.

Driving innovation and sustainable value for all

Coca-Cola FEMSA is the largest Coca-Cola franchise bottler in the world by sales volume. With more than 97,000 employees, the company operates across 56 manufacturing plants and 249 distribution centers, offering a wide portfolio of 134 brands to a population of 270 million.

“The positive results achieved are part of a transformational practice strategy and are centered on creating a more collaborative culture, accelerating the digital transformation of the company.”

Elsie Prado, Global Organizational Development Lead, Coca-Cola FEMSA

The Challenge

Coca-Cola FEMSA observed the shift in professional skills required for transformation and innovation today. Tired of the common approach organizations take to develop key talent, Coca-Cola wanted to create a holistic training program that delivered a broad understanding of all areas of the organization and how they are connected - to ensure its people can create change within the organization and beyond.

The solution would need to incorporate digitalization for a great learning experience, understanding the global and local needs of the regions to create a leader acceleration program that would serve as a comprehensive, scalable, and tailored model for the development of key talent.

In this case study, we explore how implementing the leader acceleration program has created a unified, change-driven culture at Coca-Cola FEMSA.

Creating the right culture for change-makers

Our impact

With our help, Coca-Cola FEMSA increased the use of its English online platform by 38% within 12 months. It used an app to track the program, connect learners, and deliver training to a global audience via an online platform. Customized and flexible training has enabled learners to support Coca-Cola FEMSA’s strategic business priorities, while pacing their self-development to suit their needs. Learners completed a final project as part of the leader acceleration program to practically apply the concepts and strategies they learned to their work. A digital and cultural transformation-first approach will always remain central to Coca-Cola FEMSA’s vision for organizational success – something highlighted by the positive impact of the leader acceleration program.
