With leaders unsure on how to move the organisation forward, the common reaction was to cite a lack of capacity and a slow-moving, consensus driven culture.

Shifting the fundamental mindset, and giving leaders the tools to lead change effectively extended far beyond the leadership team of the current change program – the aspiration was to develop the capacity of leaders to thrive in and effectively navigate change in a constantly changing environment across the organisation. 

Working hand-in-hand with the transformation leadership team, we identified four specific pain points and designed a programme targeted at addressing them and building holistic change capabilities.

The programme

Our flagship programme consisted of four learning days, supported by a digital toolkit and personalised coaching, where participants applied practical change tools and concepts to their biggest leadership challenges:

• Setting up for success: The fundamentals of leading change, and the characteristics they need to dial up to succeed as a change leader
• Building a coalition: Mapping the stakeholder landscape, developing the change story, and defining a broader engagement strategy
• Overcoming resistance: Understanding different reactions to change, and having brave conversations built on a foundation of trust
• Driving progress: Preparing leaders to execute in uncertainty with an experimentation mindset to adapt to continuous change

Ultimately, we saw participants unlock significant personal breakthroughs, as well as become a more aligned team, breaking down silos and supporting each other to shift the culture of the organisation.
