What we did

Albachiara is an advisor to the family owners of the group, dealing with the softer management challenges around succession planning and generational change.
Principally in assessing the readiness of the group, its structures, and its human resources, planning for intense innovation and disruption.
Change management via executive education and corporate communication.

For example, following the implementation of a Skills Gap Analysis, we have developed a strategic plan addressing emerging managerial issues. One of the first activities we implemented was the DufercoDay, an institutional event celebrating the company’s 40 years of history, which communicated to more than 800 global employees the culture and values of this international Group.

This is currently an operational project, working closely with key management, and offering insight and coaching.
