LEADING CULTURE IN
A GLOBAL
FRANCHISED MODEL
Cultureis our secret sauce! It’s the way we bring our brand to
life, and to do it well we need to be doing 1000 littlethings right.
The Gap?
Connecting people to the right tools.
Keeping people up to date on innovations.
Learning from each other (vs. reinventing the wheel).
Lack of Community = lack of brand love.
What didn’t work?
