Transforming Cultures

MULTI-YEAR CULTURE TRANSFORMATION

Situation Cape plc* required a long term cultural transformation program and sought to develop their future leaders. Achieving this would take a number of culture changing interventions, including a suite of personal development programs to up-skill various management cohorts. Brief Primeast’s brief was to design and deliver a program of behavioural interventions for senior leaders and a leader development program to support the culture transformation initiative. Solution Primeast designed 2 programs (Operational Excellence in a VUCA world) with executive coaching support and another program for future leaders (those in the. operational function with the potential to become senior leaders). The focus has shifted in recent years towards developing leadership effectiveness. Participants have been recruited from all parts of the client’s global operations. This multi-cultural approach was designed to ensure that the client made the best possible use of all its managerial talents, as well as offering the opportunity for participants to appreciate the cultural differences that exist across the global

operations and to develop valuable internal networks for personal support and corporate benefit.

Success Outcomes include: • Significantly enhanced leadership skills and capability of an important cohort of Cape’s senior management • Contribution to the cultural development of Cape’s operations globally • Underpinned Cape’s people priority areas, which has helped deliver their overall business objectives • Quantifiable outcomes & demonstrable ROI: enhanced earnings via the implementation of in-program projects, the achievement of participants’ personal objectives, improved promotion likelihood of participants, and reduced attrition amongst senior leaders. * Originally instructed by Cape plc, who were bought by Altrad, 2016
