Business Need

Our Client is a leading energy service and solutions company operating across the upstream value chain. Their capabilities include exploration, development, production, and rejuvenation.

During their annual competency assessments, it has become evident that a major section of their 1000+ functional managers lacks leadership skills. They were found to be failing in leading by example, effectively develop their teams, and build a leadership pipeline for the company.

KS Solution

Our engagement started with existing competency validation & mapping and behavioral profile assessment. Basis this exercise, we were able to figure out targeted groups and associated solutions. Following steps were used during the life cycle of this engagement:

• Consulting & Analysis
• Define/validate competencies and required outcomes
• Map existing solutions to the developmental roadmap
• Develop custom and tailored modules
• Define and implement roll-out strategy and marketing efforts
• Implement solution to pilot
• Measure, assess, and refine
• Full solution roll-out

Entire program was divided into three step process namely Knowledge, Skills/Behavior, and Ability/Leadership—

Knowledge—Mostly delivered through formal training (blended, online, in-person, and virtual instructor-led). Training included courseware, group coaching, individual coaching, and retention activities.

Skills/Behavior—Typically profile assessment based and included assessment, workshop, group and individual coaching, and retention activities. The group focused on one-to-one interactions.

Ability/ Leadership—Typically profile assessment based. Individual-focused on engaging with groups. Existing Knowledge Synonyms courseware along with the formal program. It also included assessment, workshop, group and individual coaching, and retention activities.

Benefits

Initial impact analysis shows that post-training, new and emerging leaders are more functionally competent to effectively manage, organize, and synthesize complex scenarios within the areas of responsibility. They are also able to provide inspirational leadership to develop team members, outdo the established benchmarks, and develop innovative and enterprising ideas to build new businesses within the business.
