  • Produced tools that reflected market best practice, the maturity of the organisation and the appetite for change.

Key Outcomes

  • A new talent management and succession planning process is in place and has been implemented across ~800 senior managers globally.
  • Succession pipelines understood for critical roles
  • Skills gaps identified with plans to develop the individuals that exhibited a capability gap
