Need

Individuals embarking on the Novartis Corporate Leadership Programme needed to increase their levels of self-awareness and learn to understand how their behaviour and leadership style can impact on those around them.

Solution

The Insights Discovery learning system has been a key feature within the Novartis Corporate Leadership Programme – connecting and working with leaders at an individual, team and organisational level. The Insights learning solution comprised a series of face-to-face learning workshops, complemented by personal study, coaching and mentoring initiatives.

Results

The Insights Discovery learning system has been experienced by more than 1000 leaders within Novartis. The programme has helped leaders to develop a greater understanding and appreciation of their leadership style and the impact this can have on those around them. It has armed them with the skills and resources to develop strategies for adapting and connecting more effectively and improving communications, relationships and performance.

“The Insights model for the development of leadership skills is an excellent approach for building our high-performance organisation. As a company we want to foster an entrepreneurial and performance-oriented spirit on our way to becoming a leader in the pharmaceutical industry. The dynamic and high-performing team of Insights is for us a great example of this spirit. We like working with Insights, and we are looking forward to enhancing this cooperation in coming years.”
