Case Study:

Strengthening Leadership Culture in the the Resources Sector

The Challenge

  • Engagement survey results indicated employee dissatisfaction surrounding career development opportunities provided by the organization.

  • A variety of leadership development programs were being implemented, though they lacked consistency, replicability, and ownership.

  • It was apparent that an integrated program was needed to align with other business initiatives and create long-term sustainable change.

Solutions Implemented

  • We designed and developed a multi-level leadership development curriculum offered over 5+ years, spanning all levels of leadership.

  • Starting with a full diagnostic and needs assessment with all key stakeholders involved, we developed a fully integrated and customized leader curriculum providing consistent language, frameworks, and concepts across the business.

  • Levels successfully trained included VP’s and Executives , General Managers , Hi-Potential and Emerging Leaders, Superintendents and Supervisors.  

Results Achieved

  • The organization achieved record high engagement following program implementation up 15 points from the previous survey.

  • The program has become synonymous with an enhanced workplace culture.

  • Micro-cultures within the operation report positive feedback about the improved work environment.

  • Internal promotion rate has increased significantly.

 

I am not one for exaggeration, but this was absolutely the best course/training I have ever been apart of. From the instructors, the pace, the facilities and the other participants … just magnificent.

PROGRAM PARTICIPANT

The most refreshing aspect of Kathy’s approach is her ability to foster a vision through leading practice recommendations while still also doing a lot of the heavy lifting associated with execution.
