Situation: Nortel Networks was unable to push potential business through the pipeline because
15 supply chain organizations used disparate technologies and processes. Both the bottom line
and morale sank under the weight of unfulfilled orders, and the analyst community was growing
cynical about the company's future profitability.
Challenge: Nortel needed to integrate a simplified and universal process into the supply chain
and prove to the organization, analyst community, and customers that the company had the
ability to scale the organization, leverage its recent acquisitions, and meet market demands.
Solution: Bonfire partnered with Leading Solutions Group to create a new global process
that would integrate Nortel's existing cultural dynamics with a new collaborative set of operating
procedures. The campaign shifted emphasis from rewarding autonomous customer solutions
to a value-based, process-driven system. The company announced the campaign using a town
hall format, and it integrated new messages into speeches, presentations, Web sites, mission
and vision statements, and contextual learning maps.
Results: By adopting the campaign throughout the supply chain, Nortel not only raised morale,
scalability, and efficiency within the company -- it also significantly improved its image and
value to Wall Street.
