A leading global beauty company sought to strengthen the capabilities of its Supply Chain organization — ensuring consistency, transparency, and readiness for transformation across business units and regions. As the company implemented a new global operations strategy, its U.S. division needed a competency framework that would align with global standards while reflecting local complexity and talent needs.
Northly partnered with senior Supply Chain leaders to design a customized functional competency model grounded in evidence and co-created with managers and subject-matter experts across functions. Through role analysis, workshops, and leadership interviews, we identified the capabilities most critical to future success and mapped them across levels, functions, and development pathways. The model was then integrated with learning journeys, performance tools, and individual development plans to drive adoption and impact.
The result was a scalable framework now aligned with the company’s global competency standards — providing a shared language for capability-building, talent development, and performance management. By connecting strategy, structure, and people, Northly helped the organization strengthen its foundation for growth and ensure its workforce was ready for the next era of operational excellence.
