Investments in leaders’ development is one key to succeed in a changing environment

The Solution: DRIVE – Mastering personal and change leadership
Inspirational leadership starts from within – boosting resilience and strengthening a sense of personal purpose that can withstand the pressures of accelerated change.

The Alfa Laval-Mannaz design team worked together with the Group Management Directors to create the 5 modular DRIVE programme to ensure they met the needs of both individual leaders and the business. Alfa Laval’s top leaders from around the world, came together in person and virtually to address real-time leadership and change challenges. The majority of their work was in small groups, maximising individual focus and at the same time, networking and knowledge sharing across the business.

Challenge groups and DRIVE buddies formed during the programme, continue to work together beyond the original modules.
We knew close collaboration was crucial. After all, with 80 years of success to its name, Alfa Laval knows its business better than anyone. We fused its internal knowledge with our own expertise to set up a Project Management Academy (PMA), offering blended learning methods to completely redesign Alfa Laval’s approach to training.

By combining both our strengths we were able to ensure senior project managers from Alfa Laval were present in practical learning sessions to inject their own culture and practices into training and maintain credibility with participants.

We also co-created a series of Key Performance Indicators to measure the PMA’s impact and effectiveness and allow us to continually adapt and develop the programme.
