Who was the client?
A major investment organisation in the financial services sector.
What was the problem?
The bank needed to align its leadership capabilities with the evolving market demands. The challenge was to identify and develop the skills necessary for leaders to effectively drive strategic changes required in pursuit of its five–year business strategy. To navigate these shifts successfully, they recognised the critical importance of having the right leaders, leading the right teams, with right skills set.
What was the Expleo solution?
Assessing the current state: We conducted an in-depth analysis of the bank’s existing leadership capability. This involved understanding their status and comparing it to the desired future position, relative to their five-year business strategy
Collaboration with HR and L&D Teams: Working closely with the HR director and senior Learning & Development (L&D) professionals, we produced a precise competency skills framework. This allowed us to map participants’ skills and behaviours against the bank’s future requirements.
Evidence-Based Approach: Our approach was robust and impartial. We gathered evidence through assessments, interviews, team-based scenarios and observations. This data formed the foundation for our subsequent analysis.
How did that help?
Individual insights: Our comprehensive report highlighted the strengths and areas for development of the top 40 leaders. Each leader received personalised feedback, enabling them to understand their relative standing within the peer group.
Strategic decision-making: Armed with this information, the bank’s leadership could make informed decisions about talent development, succession planning and organisational alignment.
