    The company

    An established UK and global savings and investment firm with around six million customers, managing over £254 billion in assets.

    The problem

    The Client Services Division's strategic objective was to retain and grow existing business and attract new customers by being the market leader for high-quality, low-cost service. The leadership programme existed to enable leaders to maximise the high-performing culture behind that objective.

    The requirement

    What the client needed.

    Create the necessary mindset at all levels of management to ensure ownership, commitment and sustainable high performance — building understanding of conscious mindset principles and how they relate to individuals and teams.

    01

    Conscious change curve

    Educate managers on the change curve and how people react inside it.

    02

    Change of mindset

    At all levels of management, towards ownership and sustained performance.

    03

    Awareness

    Raising consciousness across the division.

    The challenge

    Previous in-house attempts had failed and managers were not ready to embrace new process changes. The point of entry was profoundly negative — we were seen as another attempt to fix the problem.

    The solution

    What we actually did.

    The programme supported managers in reviewing their current management practices and their impact on operational performance.
    We delivered the conscious enabling mindset intervention, teaching them to think differently and giving them the tools and skills to lead their people through change.

    "With the mindset and behaviours in place, the business increased its productivity by 118% and as a result was able to make savings of £13.5M in 2009."
