Introducing Primeast

PETROCHEMICAL COMPANY $150k per annum 2017 to present

Situation

Support the development of GPM Upstream Operations expanding team in Budapest with a programme of individual and team coaching for culturally diverse, virtual teams working globally. The target growth areas included: • Maturity/self awareness • Confidence • Competence • Credibility • Taking ownership • Build capability Primeast developed a programme based on Modular Impact Coaching™ to provide four interventions a year. Each intervention combined a group workshop for all in the learning cohort and 1:1 coaching. The focus and topic of each workshop was determined by the needs emerging at the time so all content was relevant and necessary and agreed with the client sponsor. 2 cohorts defined 1. The Leadership team, along with Managers and Section Leads based in Budapest, UK and USA (8) 2. Supervisors with Senior Individual Contributors (20) primarily Budapest based. The initial key sponsor Upstream Commercial VP was adamant that the Leadership team also participated. This was invaluable to set tone, understanding and ultimately demonstrate/ role model what could be achieved. This in turn translated to the wider cohort embracing and believing in what was possible creating a shared drive towards a common purpose, improved collaboration, communication and teamworking. A team of 3 facilitator/coaches was assigned to enable continuity and ensure the optimal time (and therefore $$) to get around everyone in set dates. The results have been contributory to a confident commercial workforce that are respected for their work and approach and outstanding teamworking. It is acknowledged by others and continues to be supported as a valuable approach to equip these dynamic and technical teams as art of the ongoing curriculum. Employee surveys highlight how much better this team is and has some of the best retention stats. Evaluation data is collected related to the ROI, ROE, Facilitator and overall which consistently hovers around 4.5/5.
