Challenge
MANN+HUMMEL, a global leader in filtration products, faces transformational challenge, such as the automotive industry shift away from carburetor engines. This disruption, coupled with the need to manage consistency across an 80-year-old international organization, revealed inefficiencies in aligning teams and translating strategies into impactful actions. Traditional tools like PowerPoint failed to bridge this gap.
“The philosophy of ProgressMaker® has several really key aspects which all tie into one another. With that, we drive the momentum in the company, always result oriented or outcome and impact oriented.“
