Partnering a Transformation program within a Global Pharma Business

This is another longstanding client of Chameleon with us having worked with the business for over 5 years now.  The US company is listed on the NYSE and is one of the worlds innovators in pharmaceutical packaging and delivery systems.

For most of its existence it has been a decentralised organisation.  However, the business are now following a different strategy and are moving towards a more regionally centralised organisation, supporting a global business and have embarked upon a global standardisation and harmonisation project across their Supply Chain and Operations functions.

Chameleon have partnered with their European division and were retained on the following searches:

Operations:

• Lean Manager Europe
• Lean Specialist
• Production Manager

Supply Chain:

• Manager Demand Planning
• Manager, Supply Planning Europe
• Demand Planner

R&D:

• Director Process & Technology Development Europe
• Director Material Development Europe
• Engineer Rubber Tooling Process Development
• Engineer Product Development

Engineering:

• Senior Technical Operations Specialist
• Manager, Global Mechanical Engineering
• Global Mechanical Engineer
• Manufacturing Engineer

The main factor for the success has been the sense of partnership that has been fostered between the organisations which resulted in a great understanding of the company culture. They are not a well-known business despite their size and success, and they have required Chameleon to be their brand ambassador in the market place – to explain what transformation they are going through, what they are looking to achieve, how they operate culturally the challenges that are faced to drive forward this program.
