ArcelorMittal - Vistoplex

Overview

For ArcelorMittal, the objective was not simply to run an awards initiative. The programme needed to connect an international supplier network, coordinate stakeholders across multiple territories and create a structured digital foundation for managing innovation activity.

Our contribution connected programme management with database architecture: shaping the supplier engagement model, coordinating cross-border stakeholders and defining an automated system to support a global supplier innovation awards workflow.

What we set out to connect

The programme required more than supplier outreach. It needed a coordinated operating model that could bring international participants, internal stakeholders, programme data and an awards process into one manageable structure.

We structured an international supplier engagement programme around a shared innovation objective.
We mapped the supplier innovation awards workflow and the information needed at each stage.
We designed automated database architecture to support submissions, engagement and programme administration.
We coordinated stakeholders across multiple territories to keep the international programme aligned.

The Challenge

Turning global supplier engagement into a coordinated innovation programme.

The central challenge was to coordinate supplier engagement across territories while maintaining a consistent awards workflow. The programme needed a clear structure for participation, information capture, stakeholder communication and programme oversight.

Because the initiative crossed organisational and geographic boundaries, stakeholder coordination could not be treated as an administrative afterthought. It had to be built into the programme model alongside the database architecture and awards process.

A connected framework for supplier innovation at international scale.

We brought supplier engagement, awards workflow design, database architecture and cross-border programme coordination into one structured approach. Each workstream supported the same international innovation objective.

01 / Programme

Innovation programme framing

We defined the programme around the supplier innovation objective, clarifying how participants, stakeholders, information and awards activity needed to connect.

Programme Design

02 / Engagement

International supplier engagement

We structured engagement around an international supplier network, creating a more coherent route for participation in the innovation awards programme.

Global Suppliers

03 / Workflow

Awards process architecture

We mapped the global supplier innovation awards workflow so the programme could move from engagement and information capture through review and administration in a consistent way.

Awards Workflow

04 / Data

Automated database architecture

We designed the architecture for an automated database capable of supporting supplier information and the administration of the global innovation awards system.

Automation

05 / Coordination

Cross-border stakeholder management

We coordinated stakeholders across multiple territories, helping maintain alignment between programme objectives, supplier activity and the supporting workflow.

Multiple Territories

06 / Governance

Programme oversight

We connected the programme workstreams through structured oversight, keeping engagement, database design and stakeholder coordination aligned.

Innovation Management

The Solution

A programme model built around connected supplier innovation.

The final approach treated supplier engagement, awards administration, database architecture and stakeholder coordination as one connected programme. Rather than managing each territory or workstream in isolation, we created a common structure for international participation and programme oversight.
