Customized development experiences to expand leaders’ capacity to address complex strategic challenges and transformation initiatives in the organization and in society.
We know that sustained performance improvement happens day-to-day in leaders’ interactions with team members, peers, customers, clients and stakeholders. We underpin our work in teams and cultural transformation with capability building focused on sustaining skills.
Our programs are experiential, pragmatic and linked to business performance. To embed learning and skills back in the workplace, we blend offsite development – valuable for focus and introspection – with practical, on-the-job learning, including peer coaching and application of core concepts to real business initiatives.
We work closely with business executives and human resources to ensure learning is set within the unique strategic and operating context of the client. We focus on those skills most critical to successfully executing the strategy.
In today’s dynamic environment, we are most often asked to enhance leaders’:
- Enterprise-wide thinking
- Accountability and sense of ownership
- Adaptability and ability to let go of control
- Ability to collaborate and constructively challenge, and
- Engage and enable their people
We build accountability and continuous improvement into our development programs using mobile technology that allows each leader to set tailored goals, solicit regular feedback from colleagues, and track his or her performance until goals are attained.
BlueDrop designed and delivered a pioneering leadership program for a large Australian bank, in partnership with McKinsey and The Hunger Project. Bank leaders traveled to rural India to experience leadership in the most difficult circumstances of poverty, hunger and the suppression of women leaders. Subsequent workshops developed leaders’ ability to apply learnings from India and lead change within their division of the bank to deliver on a new strategy and vision.
