Instead of sending a few leaders off to an executive development program and hoping they come back and cascade down what they learned to your organization to magically change it (which most the time never works), we decided to be different. We thought, why don’t we discover the challenges or opportunities your organization is trying to solve for and build an executive development program around those challenges or opportunities. Seems brilliant, not really, but here’s how it works:
What issues/challenges are likely to arise from the build out of the new product line, and how should these challenges be addressed to best position your organization for future success?
Your organization’s view might be that each of its business lines is technically unique. Do you agree or disagree? In either case, what are the supporting factors for your position? Assess each business line to address where skills, talent and knowledge sharing could take place and where they could not.
What should your recruitment and retention strategy be to ensure a best-in-class and diverse workforce? Looking five plus years out, how should your organization change itself, if at all, to stay on the leading edge of the competitive set?
How do you develop a business model for selling products at a profit through non ‘big box’ channels?
What is the best way to make product ‘X’ competitive in the U.S and Canada?
How can you enhance your company culture with added accountability?
How can you enhance customer engagement?
What is the most effective way to produce custom orders of product ‘X’?
Assignments linked to your existing systems and infrastructure to lead to culturally-relevant learning.
Leadership assessments is the process of using tests and analysts to determine your leaders’ executive strengths and potential.
An executive coach meets with each of your leaders to debrief the assessments and to create an actionable development plan. Thereafter, participants are offered ongoing meetings with their coach to support effective implementation of the development plan and learning objectives of the program. Reassessment may occur to monitor progress to specified goals.
