Boots
The nation's favourite chemists and have been for over 100 years. The Property Team asked Broadwater to support them with the team set up for a major stores development project.
What was the challenge?
Working with their brand partners, Boots were undertaking a major programme to refurbish every store in the UK and ROI with a transformed shopping experience for customers shopping their cosmetics ranges in store. The team identified that the delivery of that scale of change with such a diverse internal and external stakeholder group would require a game-changing team set up. Broadwater designed and delivered a team build event for over 150 suppliers, strategic partners and internal colleagues across multiple functions. A blend of facilitated discussion and experiential learning, the assignment significantly moved this group forward both as a team and individuals.
