CEOs, CFOs, and Heads of Marketing, HR and Digital needed evaluating across 9 business groups in 6 countries
Assembling a leadership team, fairly, across 6 countries
6 Group needed to evaluate 50 senior executives across 9 business groups and 6 countries to assemble a new leadership team, without the process feeling purely evaluative to the people going through it.
The organization needed to assess CEOs, CFOs, Heads of Marketing, HR and Digital Experts consistently across a genuinely international, multi-business-group structure.
At the same time, 6 Group wanted the process to give something back: genuine developmental value for every participant, not just a decision for the business.
Assessment and development, in the same process
A Professional Styles and Leadership Risk view of every leader, validated in one-to-one sessions.
Assess consistently
Every leader completed a Wave® Professional Styles Expert report, giving 6 Group one consistent view of drivers and style across all 50 executives.
Surface the risk picture
A Leadership Risk report gave visibility into how each leader’s style could tip into a derailer under pressure, across a genuinely diverse, multi-country group.
Validate and develop
One-to-one validation and development sessions turned the data into a genuine developmental conversation for every participant, not just a selection decision.
assessed and placed in roles aligned to their strengths
A leadership team built with confidence, and trust that led to more
50 executives assessed across 6 countries gave 6 Group both a new leadership team and a level of detail in the feedback that participants hadn’t seen before.
Ten leaders were identified as the strongest fit for the newly-formed division, and every one of the 50 participants was placed in a role aligned to their strengths, not only the leaders selected for the new team.
Client satisfaction with the depth and fairness of the process led 6 Group to commission Saville for similar assessment projects covering a further 80 executives.
“The universal feedback has been that our participants have never had such detailed feedback that isn’t just linked to labelling as a ‘type’ of person.”
