A large product development and manufacturing company identified that there were significant differences in skill sets and language amongst its leadership teams between the west coast and Michigan operations. Further, the executive leadership noticed that there was no common “tool kit” for the supervisors and managers to use in dealing with day-to-day operations and people issues.
SDI was their chosen partner to research, design, and develop a common platform of tools and skills for managers in the areas of: coaching, feedback, performance management, problem solving, risk assessment, negotiations, leveraging strengths, interviewing, etc.
SDI was also chosen as the implementation partner – for over four years running simultaneously two to three cohort groups through a year-long curriculum (5 hours per month, for 11 months).
