The Manufacturing Multinational
A large manufacturing multinational sought help with a multi-year reorganization and consolidation effort. Being proactive, they sought expertise in guiding the organization through change and preparing their leaders to manage the change effectively. A unified communication strategy was needed as well as training their leaders to engage the change conversations with employees effectively.
Business Challenge

Leadership at all levels were ill-equipped to lead change conversations with resistant/reactive employees.
Leaders (and the organization as a whole) were unskilled and not aligned around change management.
Approach

Partnering with Senior Leadership, we designed and executed a cohesive change management strategy. A customized Change Leadership Series was facilitated as a learning course completed by over 150 leaders. We partnered with the People team to develop leadership capacity in driving long-term and sustainable change.
Outcomes

Enhanced leadership capability in leading change and gaining broad-based buy in
