The Challenge

With 17.9k employees, 38 operating companies and 31 manufacturing facilities supplying confectionary to over 150 countries globally, achieving better economies of scale wasn’t going to be easy.

Crucial to success was finding a single assessment partner who could provide what was being delivered by numerous partners globally and also aligned with their internal competency profile.

The Solution

Perfetti Van Melle partnered with Saville Assessment to create and implement a global assessment toolkit.

Focus groups were set up with key stakeholders to explore how the dimensions of the Wave® model, aligned with Perfetti Van Melle’s competency model.

This provided the foundation for building a toolkit of customized toolkit of reports, underpinned by the market-leading Wave model and articulated with Perfetti Van Melle’s competency language.
