Business Need

RCL FOODS wanted Lumina Learning’s help to: RCL Foods - Our Way culture

Deepen understanding of self and others in a dynamic way
Help create cohesive, aligned, high-functioning teams where their values, standard of leadership, and Our Way behaviours align – and where you can be more you!

RCL FOODS’ “Our Way” culture matches up around Big Picture Thinking, People Focused, and Extraverted Qualities on the Lumina Spark Mandala. However, looking at the Team mandalas for a large percentage of their management population, the Qualities most in evidence were Down to Earth and Outcome Focused. The Qualities required to embed “Our Way” culture needed to be developed.

This is an ongoing focus area where a significant number of RCL FOODS employees and teams are agreeing on personal commitments, action plans, team visions, team behaviours, and communication strategies aligning with Big Picture Thinking and People Focused.
