The appointment
What the business needed.
The brief
A financial services business wanted to develop more of its future leaders from within. It needed stronger internal talent pipelines and a clearer plan for leadership succession, but its learning was focused on compliance training.
What made it hard
In a regulated business, compliance training has to continue. The new leader had to keep it running while moving the focus towards skills and leadership, across global divisions with different needs and different starting points.
Who we found
A learning leader with experience of building development frameworks, internal academies and high-potential programmes in a large organisation with several divisions.
What changed
The Head of L&D introduced development frameworks, built internal academies and launched programmes for high-potential employees across the group’s global divisions. Employees took more ownership of their development, and the work helped the business retain talent and make learning part of everyday work.
