BNP Paribas - Leadership

Solution used:
Feedback-session-illustration
Where they started
Leaders shaped by a merger

Leaders needed to create positive impact and work collaboratively across newly-combined teams

A recent merger meant leaders had to drive the business forward while working across different teams
Development needed to work at both an individual and a group level
The Challenge

Leaders who could create impact, and collaborate across a newly-merged business

Following a recent merger, BNP Paribas needed leaders capable of creating positive impact and driving the business forward, while working collaboratively across different, newly-combined teams.

The organization needed a development program that worked at both an individual level, helping each leader understand their own style and risk areas, and a group level, building genuine collaboration across teams that hadn’t previously worked together.

What We Did

Three modules, from individual reflection to group discussion

A Wave® Professional Styles view of every leader, built into individual feedback, then group discussion, over several months.

Three stages

Reflect individually

Every leader completed a Wave® Professional Styles questionnaire, then received one-to-one feedback using their Wave Expert Report.

Leadership impact report

See the risk picture

A Leadership Risk Report prompted each leader to consider how their style could create unintended risks, ahead of support and challenge sessions.

Leadership risk report

Discuss as a group

Leadership Impact Group Overviews facilitated group discussions, turning individual insight into a shared, collaborative conversation.

Feedback sessions
Where they got to
Individual and group insight

The Results

A program that worked at the individual and the team level

Three connected modules gave BNP Paribas leaders a way to reflect on their own style and build genuine collaboration with colleagues they hadn’t previously worked alongside.

Wave data enabled leaders to reflect on their own development areas and understand how to use their strengths more effectively, while the Leadership Risk Report gave each leader visibility into how their style could tip into an unintended risk under pressure.

Dynamic group reporting, delivered through the Oasys platform, gave participants a shared basis for discussion and mutual development, and a dedicated support webinar helped feedback providers run the program with confidence.
