Case Study: World Emblem achieves 33% diversification, global alignment, and scaling to 1,000+ employees with Rhythm Systems

World Emblem Achieves Global Alignment as They Scaled from 50 to 1,000 Employees

World Emblem, a leading global manufacturer of high-quality apparel decorations, faced a critical growth challenge: in 2015 the company was 98% dependent on five products and three customers, leaving it vulnerable and unsure “what’s next.” To drive diversification and alignment as the business scaled, World Emblem partnered with Rhythm Systems, using Rhythm software and a Rhythm Planning Facilitator to introduce disciplined annual and quarterly planning and clearer communication across teams.

Rhythm Systems helped align executive and departmental priorities with weekly meeting goal dashboards and facilitated strategic think time, enabling focused execution. The results were measurable: diversification grew from 2% to 33% in five years, headcount scaled from about 50 to over 1,000 employees across eight locations, and World Emblem achieved the status of the world’s #1 emblem manufacturer.
