Strategy implementation hinges on succeeding with the multitude of projects that bring the strategy plan to life. In this way business execution equals successful project execution.
In a nutshell, our corporate and project leadership development:

Embedding new leadership behaviours
Embedding new leadership behaviour infuses the organisation with new energy, clarity and momentum, stimulating enhanced execution and facilitating HR-challenges such as talent management and succession planning.
In our experience, expedient and effective execution of strategies takes high calibre leadership. Using leadership development as a vehicle for executing the business strategies supports up-grade of leaders simultaneously with the execution the business strategies. The two-in-one process saves time and resources.
Changing leadership behaviours is also about changing culture. Often from one of command and control to one of motivation and inspiration; embedding a culture that stimulates engagement and action through delegation.

A Mannaz learning solution makes leaders capable of implementing vision and strategies effectively with their team, as well as mastering business performance through attracting, retaining and motivating their staff.
We support and encourage leaders to find and use their full potential, to know and use new ideas on corporate strategy, motivation, leadership among others. Through coaching participants are supported in a process of self-discovery to find their inherent strengths and development potential. Individuals move from knowing to doing, and from thinking to acting.
Our solutions are designed to improve individual performance as well as to engage the broader organisation as participants. As the development solution runs its course, participants collaborate with their team, manager and peers to create actual change based on actual challenges. This re-news excitement and commitment to strategy and strengthens bonds across the organisation.
Making people grow
Reach, change and speed are defining characteristics of business today. They demand leaders and teams that are global, confident and self-managing – in action as well as attitude.
A talent management system is an effective way to optimise the performance of each employee and thus the organisation as a whole. However, according to our research, only 5 per cent of organisations say they have a clear talent management strategy today.
It is not difficult to find a tool box or books to read on talent management or modern leadership attitudes. The hard part is actually developing the attitude which allows the manager to leave the security of the office and a day full of managing tasks and controlling things, to become instead the leader, who leaves the office to engage people inside and outside the organisation.

Supporting sustainable growth
Leadership drives business results. In a study of 1,300 publicly traded companies it was found, that those with the best leadership development practices outperformed those with the least by 44% in total shareholder return over a 10 year period (Chief Executive Magazine, November/December 2010). Other research has demonstrated that companies with high investments in improving leadership practices and learning capacity significantly outperform those with lower focus.
The leadership mindset and performance infused into the organisation through a Mannaz solution enables not only successful business execution but also the mobilisation of talent, technology, capital and innovation from across the globe.
In any of our programs, we measure both the individual learning impact – knowledge and behaviour – as well as measure business impact KPIs designed in collaboration with the client. Examples include project margins, faster business execution and time to market or as an organisations ability to work across boundaries – geographical and professional.
Accelerating business execution
By working with both national and international companies Mannaz have experienced that companies often are facing major write-downs on projects, meaning that the expected profit and benefits from the projects were much higher than what was actually achieved. We also often see clients having crucial projects delayed with consequence of missing the right time to market leading to a dramatically different benefit calculation and budget over runs. These are increasing issues that need to be tackled.
We believe that in today’s ever changing environment improving the project execution skills goes hand in hand with improving the business execution and hence the organisations results. One of the key decisive factors is the organisations capability to execute projects and business – being able to deliver!
Improving project and business execution skills must be based on learning by doing. That is why we work through tasks and activities related to the current situation and challenges facing your organisation and the individuals who are part of the programme. In this way, performance improvements occur as part of the solution.
