Business Challenge: How do we increase and strengthen our talent pool?
When one of the world’s largest oil companies dramatically changed its business model, the talent profile needed to change dramatically as well. As executives prepared the company’s new vision and values, they sought to build a new core talent reserve stocked with future leaders who could assure the continued growth and development of the reconceived organisation.
Specifically, the goal was to energise the company’s Norwegian operations. Working closely with the client, Right Management developed a customised programme for identifying high-potential individuals and nurturing their leadership skills. The 18-month programme combined four facilitated group meetings with personal development work. Specific topics included leading teams and energising people, the use of creativity, aligning individual and company values, and managing in a culturally diverse world.
The client initially selected 12 individuals from the Norway organisation as participants for the first programme; of that group, one-third were eventually promoted to new positions. We have since been asked to repeat the programme for a new talent group.
