Unlocking Business Value for a Global Manufacturer
The Challenge
This global manufacturer was under pressure to modernise operations across multiple business units. But like many large enterprises, they faced:
An overwhelming list of disconnected digital initiatives.
Siloed business and IT teams pulling in different directions.
No clear way to prioritise what mattered—or why.
The result?
- Missed opportunities
- Stalled momentum
- Rising internal resistance to transformation.
The Opportunity
They didn’t need more ideas.
They didn't need more tech.
They needed clarity.
They needed buy-in.
And they needed a structured, human-led path forward.
The Foundry Process
Step 1: ScoreCard
We began by engaging teams, stakeholders, and frontline leaders to gather real insight on where digital modernisation was most needed.
This surfaced a focused list of high-potential modernisation targets, straight from the people living the problems.
Outcome: 12 clear, business-critical areas for modernisation, validated by the people who know them best.
The Foundry Process
Step 2: Slid3rs
Next, those modernisation targets were run through our Slid3rs AI alignment tool which brings business and IT together.
They assess each target across two dimensions:
• Business Criticality
• Technical Complexity
➡️ Outcome: Immediate alignment. Clear decisions. No more internal debate—just forward movement.

The Foundry Process
Step 3: FlowRoom®
Finally, we brought key stakeholders together in the FlowRoom—an immersive environment designed to create what this manufacturer later described as a “psychological shift in how we work together.”
This wasn’t a workshop. It was an experience.
It transformed digital modernisation from a dry strategy deck into a shared, energising movement.
➡️ Outcome: True alignment of hearts and minds—unlocking trust, energy, and shared commitment to move forward.
