Page 3 - SLDP Case Study

OBJECTIVES

One of the world’s leading oil and gas companies wanted to invest in their people
by equipping them with the knowledge and tools to be skilled, dynamic leaders
focused on building high-performing teams. They were looking to develop in their
managers the decision-making skills to manage others in a potentially stressful
security context, whilst also providing tools to perform optimally in those
situations.

Our client required an innovative, world-class programme; something unique with
exceptional delivery to ensure high impact, embedded learning. It also had to have
demonstrable return on investment.
SOLUTION

The SLDP was designed to effectively develop and embed leadership and security
knowledge using the latest experiential learning techniques delivered in relevant,
memorable locations. The intensive residential phase takes place in the UK and
requires a commitment from its Saudi-based participants that takes them outside
of their comfort zone. Core themes and objectives throughout the programme
include:
• Creating a ‘security culture’ where team members feel they belong to one team
that is committed to the protection of people and property.
• Wellbeing and the need for leaders to be fit and healthy both in body and mind.
• Human Performance & Leadership whereby managers flex their style in order to
perform well in myriad situations with confidence and fully-engaged followers.
