CASE STUDY
The challenge
Our client is an American provider of reinsurance, insurance and other related business services. With a focus on delivering reinsurance solutions that work for their clients across global platforms, they match well-structured risk with efficient capital and are committed to delivering value-added service in a rapidly evolving market.
The client wanted a partner to design and deliver a programme for leaders to help them demonstrate organisational values and culture in everyday behaviours, and to equip them to be better, more visible allies.
Excellent set of workshops. The worked examples really helped bring the issues to life. I hope to apply the learnings from the course in my day-to-day life inside and outside the office.
The solution
First, Delta conducted Insight Sessions to get a deeper understanding of the client’s culture to tailor the content of the workshops to meet their context and needs. We produced an actionable report which we presented to a selection of senior leaders.
We then adapted our Inclusive Leadership programme to help their leadership team understand what inclusive leadership and allyship behaviours look like on a practical level and equip them with the skills to make day-to-day behavioural changes to create inclusive working environments. Real-life, anonymous stories generated from the Insight Sessions were integrated into the workshops to make the topics we covered directly relevant to the leaders.
The Inclusive Leadership workshops for senior leaders were enhanced with Delta Circles.
Don’t take it from us, take it from our clients.
Very well facilitated. Excellent use of examples and anecdotes to illustrate the points.”
I thought the session worked well. It was the right balance of slides and discussion, but I also liked the way the facilitator brought people into the conversation to get discussion started and to get a broad set of ideas.
I really liked the Practical Actions to Illuminate Shadow Processes – that was spot on in terms of the honesty of the contents, straight to the point of what behaviour’s we are demonstrating.
Many of the examples and case studies are very practical and applicable.
