Crelos: Case studies

Kleinwort Benson - Strategy Think-IN delivers optimal business solution

Following the announcement of the sale of the bank by Commerzbank, Kleinwort Benson decided to use Crelos’ Think-IN process to facilitate the generation of strategic options and selection of the right solution. This proved very effective and all members of the team stuck with the process to the end, when the outcome was one that nobody had predicted at the beginning.

Electrocomponents Plc: Strategic Thinking programme

Coaching: a multi-dimensional approach to accelerating organisational change

In 2009, Crelos were approached by a Private Bank, to provide coaching and facilitation services to help support its key executives throughout the sale of their organisation. The Executive Committee were planning to tender their own bid in the sale process through the structure of an MBO. A transaction adds a degree of complexity to normal business decisions, requiring the executives to keep employees focused and engaged servicing clients, despite an uncertain future. In the backdrop of the collapse of the Global banking markets, this was a fragile state from which it would be easy for an organisation to fracture.

Developing a Sales Academy to become market leader

Our client approached Crelos to assist in designing and delivering a talent programme for their top performing sales people. As experts in organisational change, Crelos set about designing a programme that would not only deliver sales results but also create the right environment for the change to happen, to enable the organisation to meet the needs of the future. The results speak for themselves. Our client reports that approximately £150m of profit has been generated in the last 5 years and the performance of their top talent is some 25% higher than the sales population as a whole.

Crelos develops teachers to deliver Progression Skills

During 2008 and 2009 Crelos were a key supplier on the DCSF funded City GATES Progression Academies.

Costain leads the way in driving up Quality of delivery through talent Management

Resourcing high performance Project Managers represents a significant talent management challenge for organisations such as Costain that seek to deliver excellence. Finding such talent outside of the industry is tough and Costain decided to look within, to grow their own talent, designing and delivering their own award winning project management academy. Crelos successfully helped create the link between recruitment, assessment, development and business outcomes, enabling Costain to continue deliver excellence for their customers.

Costain: building project management for the future

The construction industry faces a real talent challenge. Whilst migrant workers may be able to contribute to filling the general skills gap, the project management skill set is unlikely to come from this source. Adopting an Academy approach and designing a Project Management Academy, Costain have ensured that they are able to both define excellence in this area and plan for the learning and change that needs to happen.
