Q. What are you hoping to get out of today s session?
The challenge
Background Background As part of its organisational development, The Co-operative identified the need to focus on driving consistent development of its top 500 leaders. Challenge The key challenge faced was how to reach out to such a widely varied and geographically dispersed group of time challenged senior leaders in a way that truly engaged them, motivated and provided the developmental opportunities they needed. Business objective To create one integrated port of call at The Co-operative Group which provided a consistent leadership development framework and experience for the top 500 leaders across the organisation.
Portal objectives Scalable across the Group User friendly, engaging and interactive Creative and on brand in terms of look and feel Fit for purpose - considering the executive population/ mobility/ limited time Compatible with internal systems and external technical standards (i.e. SCORM compliant)
The journey
Q. What leadership development challenges do you face?
Approach The key was to identify key topics, promoted by relevant senior team members and focus on them for a set period of time. This created focused discussions and an increased buzz which attracted high numbers of busy senior managers to look at the online content and take part in conversations with their peers. The Co-operative is using working groups to identify and help design and develop the topics and so everything on the site is fresh, relevant and important.
