Development Centres Reference Story: Creating International Teams
At HFI we have extensive expertise and experience working with International
corporations, and we operate in 45 countries worldwide. Therefore we understand
the importance of having a strong cultural understanding and the ability to
work with different languages and time zones.
In 1993 a large national corporation wanted to expand to become an international
business; at the time they had a small executive team of eight people.
We
assessed each individual and provided feedback to the company. Through
assessing the team we could identify how they needed to make the most of the
individuals within the team and conveyed the strengths and developmental needs
of the organisation and the individuals involved. We also assessed the chief
executive of the company to determine how he worked and interacted with the
other members of the team.
We then set up and implemented a
2 day workshop with the organisation,
working with them on their mission objectives and strategy in how they worked
with each other. With the Chief executive we designed a
coaching programme
which allowed us to identify and define individuals who had the potential
and motivation to lead different departments within the company. After the 2
day workshop the organisation had a clear plan and direction in which to move
forward with the expansion of their company.
A year later we ran another workshop with them in Mumbai in India; which allowed
us to work with the individuals within the organisation and align them according
to the strategy and plan we had developed with them. The workshop provided the
individuals with clarity and understanding of their roles; and conveyed how they
could work and interact together to receive the greatest benefits towards
themselves and the company. It is through developing and re-structuring their
talent management that this organisation can now work together effectively and
are established as a successful international team.
The company has grown to become a large international organisation; worth approx
2 billion in the year 2000.
