our people to act with integrity and to do the right thing, whether it’ s for a coworker or a customer,” he says.“ Collaboration is also essential, as we want to‘ win together.’” Additionally, the company has adopted the slogan‘ One Arnold’ to embody the spirit of a single global team pulling in the same direction together.
Accountability plays a central role as well.“‘ Own the outcome’ means taking accountability for your actions and delivering on objectives,” Matt continues. Finally, innovation is key to Arnold’ s success in the industry.“‘ Advance what’ s possible’ is about tapping into the creativity of our workforce. We want people to think outside the box when solving problems to achieve a robust solution quickly.”
Arnold’ s culture supports a five-year plan that brings together people, markets, supply chain, innovation, and technology. Matt sees AI as part of that plan, a tool that extends what people can do rather than replacing them.“ It’ s a powerful way to allow people to achieve more than ever before. We’ re not reducing the workforce. Instead, it allows our team to work on more value-added activities and move away from repetitive manual tasks,” he says. Looking ahead, he adds,“ As an example, our sales team may utilize AI as a means to efficiently and effectively gather all facts and data necessary to prepare for a successful sales call and to win new business.”
Partnerships are at the heart of Arnold’ s strategy.“ We have customers who are growing significantly. We need to be positioned to support their growth and help them achieve their goals,” Matt concludes. For a company whose products are invisible to most users, staying ahead of change may be the most visible thing Arnold does. ■
