Leadership Development Programs

Effective leadership drives performance. Our Leadership Development Program is an integrated package of services that focus on expanding peoples` capacity to be effective in leadership roles. We strongly believe that everyone can grow and become more effective in the various leadership roles they take on. However, we also believe that leadership development does not happen easily and requires a sustained, systematic program to foster meaningful long-term behavioral change. Quick fix solutions to leadership development don`t work. Effective leadership development requires that organizations continually cultivate an active and potential pool of talent - people who can understand the company's overall vision and mission, who are able to create effective strategies to achieve goals, and who can harness the needed resources to achieve those goals. It also requires strong support, guidance and modeling from the top of the organization
At IGB, we work with clients to assess their organization`s situation, their strategic goals, and to co-create a customized integrated leadership model that meets their leadership development needs.

Management Development Systems

Managers are under immense pressure to achieve business goals, lead multiple projects and manage their people. Our Management Development Program offers a holistic, integrated approach to management development. From manager competency assessment to training, coaching and personal development planning, we offer a comprehensive range of management development processes designed to maximise management performance. Our focus includes proactive people management, motivating people, managing teams, effective delegation, situational leadership, planning and decision-making, effective communication, conflict management, coaching, change management and performance appraisals. With all our management development processes, we believe strongly in leveraging the manager`s strengths and capabilities, rather than trying to fundamentally change their nature.

 

 

Executive Retreats

Off-site Executive Retreats are often a great opportunity for the management of an organization to examine fundamental issues, make major changes, or to test new ideas and try out new approaches in a non-workplace environment. Retreats may be held for a variety of reasons: to align the collective creativity of the management around a strategic issue, to create a vision for the organization, to improve cohesion & teamwork within the group, to change organizational culture, or to change perceptions, attitudes, and behavior. A well-conceived, well-designed retreat can have substantial benefits. It can help change strategic direction, generate new solutions for problems, get everyone pulling in the same direction, deal with sources of hidden conflict, allow colleagues to know each other & build trust, create a common frame of reference for operating together, and help people see things in new ways & envision new possibilities. The IGB Network has extensive experience of organizing and facilitating management retreats.

Cultural Change & Integration Process

Corporate culture, the deep-seated assumptions, values, and behavior patterns that differentiate organizations can be one of the strongest influences in supporting or constraining strategic action in corporations. At IGB, we help organizations drive successful cultural change and integration processes. We use exclusively licensed assessment tools to measure and define organization culture quantitatively. We not only measure the current state of the organization's culture, but also measure what the culture needs to be in order to enable the organization to achieve its strategic objectives. We then conduct a gap analysis, comparing the actual and the required cultures. Finally, we map out . a practical and specific roadmap to guide management through the critical change process, aligning culture with vision and strategy. We also focus strongly on leadership, recognizing that culture change and integration are intimately linked with leadership competencies and actions.

Expatriate Performance Management Systems

The successful management of a multinational`s expatriates is critical to global business success. We offer a total Expatriate Management (EM) package of services across the expatriate life cycle. Our EM process starts with an assessment of the organization`s global strategy. The next step is the creation of a high potential candidate pool. Using our Global Competency Inventory, we assess the current level of candidates`existing global competencies. We then use a combination of pre-departure training, feedback and coaching, and post-arrival training to ensure that the candidates selected by the organization for overseas assignment have the requisite competencies. Finally, we re-assess the selected expatriates prior to repatriation, and work with HR to create a repatriation management system that fully utilizes and rewards the competencies developed during the overseas assignment.
