| Boilerpipe Text | Navigating Business Excellence: A Guide to Centers of Excellence (CoEs)
Centers of Excellence (CoEs) have emerged as a strategic tool for organizations to streamline operations, optimize processes, and drive innovation. But what exactly are CoEs, and how can they benefit your business?
My story: In EssilorLuxottica I was part of a transformation that led to various CoE’s being established. As a company with multiple optical retail chains bought over the decades across the
opco’s
a lot of work was being done in parallel, best practices not being shared, mistakes being made in x-fold. Hence the business case was easy. Centralize knowledge, testing, best practice building, procurement on several things and we can increase growth and innovation.
One of which was centralizing a lot of performance creatives and SEO focussed content.
