Global Inclusive Leadership Programme

The programme, which we designed with the client and our partners at Steps (drama training) is being rolled out across Vodafone’s operations across the world.

Workshops have been successfully run across Europe (in the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Greece and Albania) in the Middle East (Qatar) and on the sub-continent (India.) In the coming months, the programme will reach other European locations (Malta, Portugal, Hungary, Czech Republic, Romania) as well as Turkey and Africa (Egypt, South Africa and Ghana.)

Crucially, the workshop is adapted to the social context in each country and the business needs of that particular client company. Moreover, the workshop is not delivered in isolation, it is part of a long-term strategy to build an inclusive corporate culture.

Robin Schneider commented: “It has been a real privilege to be leading this project. In twenty years of work in this area, I don’t think I have ever found a client so quick to move from analysis to execution. Metrics can help spot issues (as well as subsequently track progress and hold people to account) but what makes the real difference are the day-to-day behaviours of the leaders. Once the company recognised that the key to sustained change in the diversity of its employees was to focus on culture and behaviour, then we piloted a workshop with the Chief Executive and his top team and then moved into the roll-out.”
