The Challenge
With over 1000 subsidiaries and a business that grows via acquisition, Hitachi wanted to equip its high potential leaders with the personal skills, and strategic business knowledge to:
- Collaborate effectively across function and across geographies
- Maximise the potential growth of Hitachi Group Companies across Europe
- Actively contribute to the commercial growth and strategy of Hitachi Group Companies across Europe
The Solution
We partnered with Hitachi for over 10 years to design and deliver an annual leadership development programme that was carefully aligned to their global People Manager Competencies. Over 10 years, the programme has seen various iterations, as the requirements of their leaders have shifted. The core elements of the programme include:
- MBTI Psychometric and 360 feedback
- Line manager briefings and triangular sessions
- 3 modules – Leading self (3 days), leading others (2 days) and leading the organisation (1 day)
- 3 Action Learning Sets (one virtual)
- Individual strategic business project and presentation
- 1-2-1 coaching
"The ELP was a great success and helped improve participants’ capability to understand the broader goals of Hitachi, both globally and in Europe, and as a result manage their projects more effectively. In addition, the programme enabled participants to develop mutually beneficial networks across Europe.
Berkshire Consultancy assisted in developing positive, impactful customer interaction skills and increased participants’ confidence in influencing and presentation skills. As a result of the programme, participants have demonstrated an increased awareness of other people’s view points, which has helped promote a positive culture and foster relationships across Hitachi".
