Large Scale Site Shutdown & Career Transition – Oil & Gas Industry

After an extensive review and selection process, Trevor-Roberts was chosen to develop and deliver the leadership program with 3 main objectives:

1. Gain a common understanding of what good leadership looks like in the organisation
2. Identify the priority areas for development
3. Develop and deliver training and development activities based on the priority areas.

OUR SOLUTION

Trevor-Roberts split the delivery support into three main stages:

STAGE 1: Leadership Competency Framework

Trevor-Roberts drafted a leadership competency framework providing a starting point for leadership development and to create a common language for what good leadership looks like.

STAGE 2: Needs Analysis

Trevor-Roberts facilitated a workshop with executives and key stakeholders to discuss and agree on

• what good leadership looks like, and
• what were the major leadership skill gaps across the organisation.

STAGE 3: Leadership Training

Based on the needs analysis and in conjunction with our client, Trevor-Roberts designed a program of leadership training for Executives, Senior Leaders and Frontline Leaders to address identified leadership skill gaps. Importantly, the training hours were spread over a number of activities and time points, minimising the impact of training on the business and for ensuring that leaders are provided with ample time and opportunity to transfer learning to the workplace.

Key features of the training were:

• Face-to-face training, in full-day, half-day and 2-hour workshop to build engagement and a culture of learning
• Strong executive sponsorship and involvement to communicate importance of leadership development and enhance buy-in
• Consistency in concepts, models, tools and language across the three cohorts to build a shared understanding of leadership
• Use of homework activities between workshops (learning bites) to keep the content front-of-mind, encourage transfer of learning to the workplace and maintain momentum in the program.

During the training roll-out, COVID hit resulting in a significant redesign of some of the content delivery, replacing face-to-face workshops with multiple short webinars interspersed with learning activities. This was achieved with no reduction in participant satisfaction and within the original budget.
