Culture by Design: How Tesco Made CI Everyone’s Business – with Anu Kalia, Tesco


Listen Later

What does it take to embed improvement into the fabric of a global organisation?

Anu Kalia, Global Process Excellence Lead at Tesco, shares how a long-term commitment to Continuous Improvement is delivering impact at scale, earning them the 2025 BQF Award for Excellence in CI Culture (Service).

From onboarding and talent attraction to leadership behaviours and daily huddles, Anu explains how Tesco’s CI culture has evolved over seven years, and why it’s far more than a series of projects.

You’ll hear how the team has generated over 15,000 ideas, the strategic shifts that kept momentum high, and how performance boards, process mining, and AI are shaping the next chapter. Anu also shares his ambition to build Tesco’s best-in-class in-house consultancy, and the role of senior leaders in making improvement a non-negotiable.

Whether you're starting your CI leadership journey or scaling across a complex organisation, this episode offers real-world insights on sustaining improvement culture in every corner of the business.

Listen now to hear how everyday excellence is being brought to life at Tesco.
