KFC UK&I
KFC is a global chicken restaurant brand with a rich, decades-long history of success and innovation. It all started with one cook, Colonel Harland Sanders, who created a finger lickin’ good recipe more than 75 years ago—a list of 11 secret herbs and spices scratched out on the back of his kitchen door. Today, we still follow his formula for success, with real cooks breading and freshly preparing our delicious chicken by hand in more than 27,000 restaurants in over 145 countries and territories around the world.
Colonel Sanders was a born innovator and founded KFC on values like hard work, hospitality and generosity that still live large in the KFC brand today. We believe in making chicken the right way, by using quality ingredients and freshly preparing them by hand every day. We also proudly welcome everyone to enjoy a seat at our table. From our more than 800,000 Team Members to our guests around the world, KFC treats everyone with generosity and like family.
We are grounded in our heritage but looking forward to the future. KFC is always evolving to make it easier for our guests to enjoy our chicken. We do this through digital innovation and building new restaurants with our valued franchise partners. Every six hours, a new KFC restaurant opens somewhere in the world. As we grow, KFC is committed to doing so responsibly through commitments like our 2025 global plastic packaging goal, the realization of our 2018 commitment to stop purchasing chicken raised with antibiotics important to human medicine in the US and the KFC Harvest program, which to date has donated over 80 million pounds of food to our local communities around the world.
From KFC’s world-famous Original Recipe to our new signature flavours and formats, we are about making the most craveable, Colonel-inspired chicken in the world, the right way. If it’s not finger lickin’ good, it’s not us. And with the help of incredible franchise partners around the world, we’ll continue to be one of the fastest growing retail brands globally, both in emerging and developed markets alike."

We, at SUNLIFE India Procurement, have embarked on an agile transformation journey, rethinking how we can create value by embracing more flexible methods of working and developing a delivery model that is more sensitive to change and fast-paced situations. Sunlife Procurement has classified its present activities and processes to determine which areas require greater efficiency and which might benefit from greater agility.
It should then provide teams with the skills and culture that promotes speed, innovation, and chances for continual development. Value creation will be enabled by the transformation of the delivery model, which will create new opportunities and strengthen the capacities to respond quickly to exogenous and endogenous changes.
The challenge that emerges is to identify all the activities that Procurement function currently performs and assess the current level of maturity and nature of the activity (e.g., strategic vs. transactional, efficiency vs. agility). This determines where higher efficiency and reduced effort are required, and where agile, progressive, and iterative development can create and add value.
