Case Study: High impact change management for leaders​

As a result of new challenges posed by fierce competition, an ever-changing labour market and digital transformation, Leonardo wanted to upskill their people leaders to respond more effectively to change. ​

Their ability to lead people and change were deemed vital for workforce engagement and development, as well as organisational sustainability. ​

Following the successful piloting of a Right Management development programme in Italy, Leonardo decided to roll the support out in the UK to help their leaders become advocates for change.

The solution

Key deliverables​

The first step was to work very closely with Leonardo to localise the content in order to account for geographical nuances.​

Each participant then undertook: ​

• Hogan change effectiveness questionnaire to understand their attitude to change​
• Two expert-led change labs focused on leading oneself and leading others in times of change​
• A half-day learning gym where leaders were coached by their peers to identify solutions to challenges and develop further action plans​

Participant feedback:​

“I learned new techniques for managing change.”​

“I now understand the importance of emotional intelligence in leading change.”​

The impact​

• 100% of participants said the support has helped them set key goals for leading change​
• 100% said the change lab has improved their ability to be an effective Change Agent at Leonardo​

“In a time of great change I found this programme immensely useful. It opened my mind to all aspects associated with change thinking and theory, as well as looking at change from a personal perspective. I’ve had the opportunity to reflect on how I accept change and manage change with others and understand my strengths and weaknesses to enable my development relating to change.”​
