Improving effectiveness

 

Business solutions

A UK FTSE250 plc engaged Keeldeep Associates to assess an overseas leadership team. After an extensive process and de-briefings, Keeldeep Associates designed and delivered an executive development workshop to drive focus, improve sales and reduce working capital. Outcome: renewed focus, precision, energy, challenge and support. "The tools and techniques have helped us significantly in our preparation and I believe we're genuinely starting to see some positive progress. Will keep you posted and thanks again." - Managing Director, overseas subsidiary.

A professional institution (c150,000 members) engaged Keeldeep Associates to facilitate board meetings addressing the output of its board evaluation. Different views and sources of tension were explored, highlighting areas of common ground. This enabled the board to focus on its purpose, processes and outputs with renewed energy. Outcome: a breakthrough agreement on board behaviours and practices.

An oil exploration and production company's executive committee wanted external facilitation for a key off-site team review.  Individual interviews preceded the main event.  Despite the inevitable risk of tension among forthright senior executives, problems were diagnosed and solutions developed.  The team concluded with clear actions and a way forward. Outcome: agreed behavioural changes based on a revised operating model.

"We got much more out of it than I anticipated." - Chief Executive Officer.  "We did a debrief at the end of Friday and there was universal acclaim for the facilitation.  You knew when to step in; you knew when to step back.  From a standing start, you did a great job for us."  - Chief Operating Officer.
