Issue
Survey indicated widespread disengagement among employees in the region, which paralleled downturn in regional revenues and profitability.

Solution
The client partnered with Brimstone to co-develop a Shared Leadership (SL) program that blended important strategic work for the region with country-level communication of key corporate messages around vision, mission and values. 50 leaders from 14 countries came together in Hong Kong to learn the skills necessary to launch local project teams, using "Leader Kits" translated into four different languages. After 60 days of project team work, the 50 leaders returned to Hong Kong to share strategy solutions and implementation plans, program best practices and key messages from the field.

Results
  • The percentage of "Disengaged" employees in the region decreased by 100 basis points within a year – an "unprecedented" achievement, according to the firm that designed and administered the survey
  • Revenues for the region increased by 125% in the 6 months following the program
