We began with a Culture Dipstick covering over 350 employees across levels and locations
The key focus here was strategic goals and business architecture. We achieved this through:
Communication is critical for the success for such an exercise.
We handed the baton over to an Internal Task Force that was tasked with:
This was followed by an Executive Team Session to define the initial version of their Vision, Values, and Goals and a Leadership Team Session to baseline these with the market landscape for their respective businesses
Alignment sessions with each Business Head and his/her direct reports.
Executive team role alignment and definition of their own leadership mandate.
Finally systems and process alignment for all the Corporate Functions.
We partnered with the client to create a calendar to share and reinforce key elements of the vision, values, winning culture, strategic business goals to cover all employees
Putting in place dashboards to track progress against key strategic initiatives.
Monitor cascade and communication activities and implement key strategic people initiatives such as top talent identification, succession planning and so on.
