    The company

    A leading international provider of offshore contract drilling services employing approximately 13,000 people worldwide across the US, Europe, India/Middle East, Asia, Africa and Brazil.

    The problem

    Heavy competitive pressure and the need to develop people faster than ever meant every leader had to know what it took to lead and inspire their people. Achieving the mission of being the world's premier offshore drilling contractor required a shift in mindset and behaviour across senior and middle management.

    The requirement

    What the client needed.

    Improve leadership and management capability across the global network. The CEO believed people development and motivational techniques that get results had to be established.

    01

    Target

    Change the mindsets and behaviours across the middle and senior management population.

    02

    Development

    Build an inner and outer 'people focus' as a core element of the definition of management.

    03

    Scale

    600 managers across the US, Europe, India/Middle East, Asia, Africa and Brazil.

    The challenge

    The company had grown fast through acquisition and many cultures were in conflict — each needed a shared philosophy and strategy to establish the way.

    The solution

    What we actually did.

    Our facilitator team interviewed key leadership and management personnel before designing a programme for the onshore organisation.
    It was aligned with the offshore programme delivered on the rigs and rolled out from the successful Customer Focus Programme, which had already become part of the company's DNA.

    A platform + a team of experts.
