FUTURE OF WORK
Case Study:
Capability Boost

A global client facing an automation challenge, with an increasing squeeze on cost, without taking on additional risk, and upgrading their customer centricity mindset and levels of service. The existing competency framework was outdated and didn’t provide the necessary input.
challenge
How to change people’s minds and habits about their own career development – empowering people to drive them (or else…)?
