CASE STUDIES
Initiating a new culture of feedback from the top
A second-generation family-run business in the Philippines needed to undergo an organisational transformation. They wanted to achieve a very ambitious five-year growth strategy but needed a high-performing team and future-ready leaders to achieve it; they decided to start at the top. The CEO had a great team of recently-hired champions and established veterans but wasn’t sure how to create a cohesive, high-performing team that could bring about its own potential – especially in light of uncertainties presented by the first COVID-19 outbreak.
Aligning co-founders at one of India’s most successful startups
A Series B startup had the potential for dramatic growth but needed all co-founders to “reinvent” themselves and strongly align to handle that growth. The co-founders knew that if the organisation were to hit hyper-growth, they needed to step up; there was no way that they could carry their business into the next stage of its evolution until they aligned their priorities and created a dynamic of deep trust and reliability.
Long-term partnership to shift culture, and come out stronger from the pandemic
A retail client needed a global leadership development program that would simultaneously break silos and encourage collaboration across all sectors of its organisation, whilst developing the next generation of emerging high-potential talent.
Sustainable transformation and ongoing impact
A Fortune 50 global company was in the midst of great changes, undergoing an organisational restructure whilst at the same time trying to adapt to the external challenge of a shifting landscape of their retail domain. They already had a well-defined leadership framework in place and lots of ‘leadership content’ on their intranet, but were struggling to translate it into the day-to-day realities of the company. They needed a partner to help translate insight into consistent and systematic action – something that is our speciality.
Mixing corporate and startup cultures to create high-performing teams
A German-based tech company of 50+ staff had a huge task to deliver on a very ambitious timeline. They had pulled together some of the best talent in tech and in senior leadership to create a new high-value B2C SaaS product that would contribute to the corporate sustainability agenda. The team lacked speed, unity, a sense of urgency, and a shared vision. Our challenge was to create the conditions for the “high-trust, high-accountability and high-performing team” that the CEO had requested.
Creating a collaborative team across the diverse Asia-Pacific region
One of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies in the world needed support whilst undertaking a complex M&A transaction. Not only was the integration taking place within a heavily regulated industry, and between organisations with highly matrixed and complex organisational structures, it was happening during the COVID-19 pandemic. The regional director needed an intervention that would equip the team to not just manage, but leverage the change and ambiguity they were facing.
Equipping healthcare leadership and caregivers with tools for resilience during the pandemic
Like many healthcare organisations, the COVID-19 pandemic was stretching the capacity of an Abu Dhabi-based healthcare group. The CEO insisted that a range of staff members – both leaders and senior direct caregivers – across the hospital should participate in a mindfulness-based resilience and adaptability session.
Inspiring leaders across functions with innovative online sessions
A Singapore-based family-run business, operating on a truly global scale with offices in 38 countries across nearly every continent, engaged us to create a platform for cross-functional and cross-country team members to connect, learn, and share key leadership skills and techniques, especially in an online setting.
Kick-starting a feedback culture during a startup's leadership offsite
A very successful Indian startup with a multi-billion dollar valuation asked us to facilitate a component of their leadership offsite. They wanted an external facilitator to bring fresh, experiential content to inspire and upskill their team.
Building a coaching culture in a startup during hyper-growth
One of the most successful startups in India found itself in uncharted territory; it had rapidly become larger and more diverse than ever before. If the company wanted to thrive at this next level, they needed leaders with self-awareness, people management skills, and the ability to give and receive skilful feedback.
