Reflection
What I learned
Clarity and simplicity are powerful. When teams understand the "why" and have the right tools, consistency becomes a habit.
What I would do differently
I would involve local teams earlier in the process to co-create more examples and build stronger consistency from the start.
A strong brand is not about speaking louder. It's about speaking with one voice, everywhere.
