Localise the Global

Every rule was followed. Something human still went missing.

This master franchisee ran Costa Coffee flawlessly by every operational measure: certified training, audited standards, dozens of compliant sites. And yet turnover stayed stubbornly high, satisfaction scores stayed stubbornly flat, and every floor manager described the same feeling — executing a machine designed somewhere else entirely. The charter was global. The warmth it needed was entirely local, and nobody had built the bridge between the two.

Localise the Global — Costa Coffee — National Master Franchisee — **Barista, three years’ tenure** I know exactly how to make a coffee by the book. What the book never taught me is how to talk to a customer who’s been waiting twenty minutes on a chaotic Monday morning.

Growth does not come from doing more of the same. It begins with the shift that changes everything — the story, the experience, the audience or the model. We built eight productions to lead those shifts.
