Client - Major financial services organisation.
The Need:
The organisation had recently been acquired by an overseas entity.
The local CEO wanted to work with a mentor to explore effective ways to work with his offshore CEO, and to develop relationships with and influence his peers and head office colleagues. He also wanted to seek advice and counsel on local leadership issues, including dealing with external stakeholders and market-driven issues.
Our Solution:
Developing a 12-month executive mentoring program, where the local CEO was matched with a former highly experienced financial services CEO who had personally experienced the exact issues and challenges being faced by the local CEO.
Outcome to date:
A highly successful mentoring program which has resulted in the local CEO being given additional responsibilities as a valued member of the new international organisation.
