They wanted to be able to identify from existing talent those individuals who will be able to lead the business in this way.

The Solution

We ran job profilers with event leaders for the top 100 shows and their managers to identify common characteristics.

Three key stakeholder workshops utilized the Wave® Card Decks to discuss findings from job profilers and define which key behaviors underpin the success of future event leaders.

Individual assessments were run using Professional Styles and Wave Performance 360.

Regional HR representatives were then trained to be able to facilitate 1-2-1 feedback conversations.
