Case Study Highlights
Rebecca Guinn found that the hardest part of driving a disciplined, cost-conscious mindset across Deere & Co wasn’t setting the target. It was changing how people think, act, and make decisions every day.
Her team redefined ownership by embedding cost accountability across every team, role, and decision, aligning supply chain, engineering, finance, and manufacturing around shared goals.
That meant replacing fragmented processes with standardized ways of working and shifting from instinct-driven decisions to data-driven ones.
Rebecca is clear that the real transformation wasn’t just about reducing cost, but also about moving from cost management to value creation as a core capability.
