Strengthening the
Future Leadership Pipeline

Category: Integrated Programs

Client: Electronics Manufacturing MNC

The Challenge

The client organization sought to strengthen its talent pipeline across levels, particularly at the middle and junior levels. The purpose of the initiative was to have a future ready talent pool to fill in important and critical roles when needed.

While the intent to build from within was strong, several challenges emerged:

Limited visibility into talent readiness

Inconsistent understanding of
leadership capabilities across levels

Lack of data to support succession planning

A need for a scalable,
virtual-first development approach

The organization needed a sharper, insight-led framework to assess, develop, and future-proof its internal talent.

Our Approach

We partnered with the client to design a fully virtual intervention,
combining
contextual diagnostics, simulation-led exercises,
and targeted learning journeys.
01
Grounding the Design
We began by engaging senior leaders and participant managers to understand role realities. FGDs with participants helped surface key development priorities and align the design to business context.
02
Cohort-Specific Frameworks
Two distinct competency frameworks were created for middle and junior managers, tailored to role maturity and growth paths. Each mapped both functional and behavioral capabilities aligned with real-world expectations.
03
Simulation-Based Exercise
A virtual development centre was deployed, using contextualized simulations to mirror job challenges. Trained assessors observed & evaluated key functional & behavioural competencies; resulting in detailed participant profiles.
04
Reports & Debriefs
Each participant received a personalized report outlining key strengths, development areas and support to create individual development plans (IDPs).
05
Capability-Focused Learning Journeys
The learning journey was designed based on the output of group report. Each journey blended live sessions with self-paced learning for real-world application.
