Organizational Development Case Study
Leadership Development in an Era of Aggressive Growth: A Strategic Approach
Leadership Development
To support the aggressive growth strategies, leadership development was an obvious priority. Success and sustainability is impossible without capable leaders to drive initiatives and support high performing teams. Savant’s unique talent acquisition strategies to attract direct hires and acquire firms meant that leadership development strategies had to address the nuances of each group, while maintaining consistent messaging and leadership culture. Leaders needed to be equipped to lead a rapidly changing environment.
Solution Process
Collaborated closely with human resources and executive leaders to employ capable resources and design effective training and resources including tactics such as:
-
Gaps assessment
-
Recommendations for programming design and resources
-
Change management tactics (Pro Sci ADKAR)
-
Cohort enrollment process
-
External and internal resource development
-
Communication planning
-
Pilot, evaluation, and official roll out
RESULTS
From our recommendations, HR contracted with UW - Madison’s CPED program to provide leadership development, personality assessments (MBTI). Through individual and group leadership coaching, a leadership development sub-culture was established.
“Krystle’s vision, passion, and work ethic drove necessary change that will make Savant better not just today, but long into the future.”
