Just back from two days in Mexico City, working with Grupo Bimbo. Did a session with CEO and other top team members, but all subject to non-disclosure agreement. A reminder of just how complex the internal dynamics can be inside large, multinational companies. But a useful stimulus, in that I developed a diagram for plotting progress in the sustainability space which could well have wider applications.
On the second day, Mauricio (Bonilla Padilla) took several of us to Coyoacán, which Hernán Cortés and his conquistadores used as a base during their toppling of the Aztecs. Fascinating, but slightly grim, visit to the Frida Kahlo Museum – what a tough time she had of it, including over 30 operations and several terminations of pregnancies. The day outside seemed to be drizzling in sympathy.
