Multiple examples of impact, new initiatives, and innovation have emerged from the program including a new route to market in Saudi Arabia, securing new customers in Vietnam, and the creation of a CSR ambassadors’ network.
As the process moves forward, future leaders have continued to be placed in pivotal positions across the organization and are making vertical career moves, all designed to expand the scope of their responsibilities and fast-track them to future leadership roles. 30 months into the program 47% of the future leaders had moved into new roles.
“Future leaders, for the first time, deeply feel their responsibility. They have connected to their future role and its potential impact and started working out for themselves how they must now develop and grow to meet the challenge. They have also emerged greater advocates of the organization, our values, members, and products.”

“This process takes future leaders on a true discovery journey and offers catalytic experiences to bring the outside in, create possibilities and expand global mindsets. It generates a sense of personal responsibility, shifting assumptions about what is and what is not possible at both a very personal and organizational level.”
