That was the catalyst that knocked down obstacles, ignited discussions and inspired fundamental change in the way we create, innovate and lead at Corby.” Patrick O’Driscoll, CEO, Corby One Year Later... Fast-forward one year and Corby’s quest for a culture of creativity is well on its way. From ThinkStyles proudly posted on cubicles and office doors, to boxes of C-Lab™ session materials accessible everywhere, creative problem solving best practices and rules of engagement displayed in meeting rooms, and ideas posted in shared areas for quick “yes and…” contributions, the environment alone proves the shift. Kayla Campbell, Director, Human Resources Commercial & Talent says, “C-Lab™ has become our default way to solve problems here and ‘yes and…’ our common language.” Stuart Shapiro, Corby’s Senior Business Intelligence Manager highlights the changes, “Before the program we all worked in silos with no collaboration and no big ideas. Now it’s this environment of continuous improvement, we’re having really productive conversations, and we’re far more collaborative.” 3 CASE STUDY: CORBY What other evolution has How has this impacted occurred as a result?

So proud of their endeavors, a full page of their 2016 annual report was dedicated to their continuing commitment and growth around a culture of creativity. Even more importantly, Corby recently updated their company values to Empathy, Creativity, Collaboration and Boldness – all reflections of the learning and evolution during time spent with Combustion. “It’s a big shift for the says Chris Bhowmik, Brand Director for Canadian Whiskey. company.
