WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT US
Our teams quickly showed us the terrific potential for increasing earnings through their great ideas that are going to make Acosta not only stronger but also a better place for our associates and our customers.
Our executive team deeply appreciated all of the hard work and progress that our teams demonstrated. We gave them a way to show their talent and passion and they went well beyond our expectations.
We were very happy that we chose Harvest Earnings to help us in our journey. By removing complexity in every facet of our business we quickly found $40 million of new earnings. Implementation is so much smoother when the people who develop the ideas, also implement them. In addition, we are now all speaking the same business improvement language.
We grew earnings by $75 million by getting exactly the right kind of collaboration and balance to ensure our local businesses were tailored to local market needs while taking advantage of our scale to drive efficiency.
We made our company better by engaging our associates. The long-term benefit is that the engagement is a process and culture that doesn’t go away. It has become part of who we are.
Our employees found $100 million to fund our global rebranding. This is now our gold standard for corporate projects. As our global executive team got to know so many people deep in the organization we brought to light much more bench strength than we knew we had.
Our teams found $50 million by reducing fixed and variable costs while reinvesting millions in fast payback product innovation. As a private equity owned company we appreciated such a fast and certain path to measurable earnings growth.
Our One PNC project unified our key leadership team around the principle of acting as one company. We generated over $400 million while adding customer facing-time. It taught us how to excel at process improvement.
Focusing on corporate overhead, the employees closest to the work found $100 million – more than any consultant or task force would have found.
We have implemented hundreds of ideas delivering $50 million and are celebrating each success! These ideas are eliminating the costs and activities that our customers do not value and reinvesting into those they do value.
First in North America and then in Europe, our employees added nearly $500 million in earnings by removing clutter and complexity and adding new profitable revenues. There are so many ideas that are fundamentally improving the way we go to market and serve our customers. It was an incredible learning experience.
Our employees were galvanized by the role they played coming up with smart ideas to make shopping better for customers while reducing our costs in every part of the store – from fresh produce to center aisle to flower sales to the bakery!
