Leadership Assessments for a Telecom Major’s CXO Succession

Leadership Assessments for a Telecom Major’s CXO Succession

Context

The client, an Indian telecom major, wanted to build its senior leadership pipeline for succession planning and facilitate development of leaders, in sync with its business strategy.

Thus, the client wanted 25 identified senior leaders that reported to the Management Board, to go through a process of ‘Self Discovery’, whereby the individuals would be assisted in identifying their areas of strength and development.

The intervention was to end with participants creating Individual Development Plans (‘IDPs’), which would lay the foundation for their learning journeys planned over a span of 9-12 months.

Impact

A complete ‘Leadership Landscape’ was presented to the CEO and CHRO to help them have a better understanding of the existing leadership talent pool.

The client was able to clearly identify developmental priorities for each leader as well as for the cohort. This input aided them in making further learning investment decisions.

The organisational leadership took ownership of the talent analytics presented by BasilTree and used that to identify key tenets of their people strategy in the future growth journey.

Approach

BasilTree used its proprietary 3P Assessment Fulcrum, bringing together Performance, Preference and Potential, to design Development Centres for the senior leaders.

The CEO provided with feedback on all leaders on the competencies that they were being assessed on.

The leaders underwent a rigorous, engaging, full day Development Centre, interacting with Senior BasilTree coaches in individual interactions, followed by post-assessment individual feedback sessions.

The leaders shared first drafts of their IDPs post the Development Centre. Follow up conversations were scheduled with each leader to help them fine tune and finalise their IDPs.
