With elections and organisational change the focus of global affairs, one Nottingham-based expert has completed a major contract with one of the world’s foremost construction and engineering companies.
Nottingham-based leadership and change specialist Penny Strutton, has been working with BrandSafway, which has a network of 340 strategic locations across 30 countries and more than 38,000 employees, on a major leadership and development programme.
It has not only seen Penny delivering her “Think Forward” programme’s Elevated Leadership course in various countries but also, thanks to translation, in 7 different languages!
Working with Penny over the last 6 months, the BrandSafway team have been discovering more about themselves and their leadership style and potential through the Lumina Learning concept.
This includes psychometrics that reveal people’s dynamic personality, accelerate collaboration, creativity and problem-solving.
Speaking about the programme, Penny said: “This has been one of the more challenging programmes to deliver purely from the scale and logistical perspective of so many countries, cultures and languages that we need to factor in but that challenge is what has made this such a rewarding journey for all of us.
“There has been that one common thread uniting the entire programme as we’ve rolled it out and that is leadership. Now more than ever, in an era of great change and indeed challenge across the globe, this is a key skill that the world needs.
“It has been fantastic to work with the BrandSafway team, they are a forward thinking organisation that is proactively placing their people at the heart of the business and I’ve learned a huge amount myself – how can’t you in such diverse teaching and learning situations!”
