Retaining & developing talent
The war for talent is real. The cost of losing a critical employee cannot be measured simply financially. We have designed talent development programmes for large populations of junior and middle managers as well as executive level - preparing leaders for a global role. See below case studies that detail a selection of ways we have worked for our clients:
CONTEXT
The client wanted a talent development programme for leaders reporting into the c-suite members. The aim of the programme was to ‘prepare participants to lead a global organisation’.
The client had grown by acquisition and the company was still considered quite new. As such there was no consistent leadership approach across the organisation and many sub-cultures existed.
The Leadership Acceleration Programme was a put forward to develop and prepare candidates to take on the challenges of leading a highly complex global organisation. 12 candidates were selected from each region and they would be intensely developed and coached over 2 years.
Strategic Leadership was selected because of our international experience and ability to have coaches living locally across the three regions (Americas, APAC and EMEA).
APPROACH
The programme we designed consisted of 5 elements that run in parallel over 2 years:
01 Must Win Battle Projects (Individual and Group projects linked to the organisation’s strategic goals)
02 Executive Coaching (Individual, 3-way with line manager and Group coaching)
03 Psychometrics (360 degree assessment repeated 3 times and other assessments such as Hogan, Wave and Gallup Strengths)
04 Training Sessions (Online and face-to-face sessions running regularly along with site visits and best practice observations)
05 Special Events (Guest speakers, Q&A with executives, role shadowing of executives, recorded videos, audio interviews)
