How to Increase the Influence of the Board: Case Study

The situation — £1bn+ turnover privately owned freight company with over 5,000 staff. Company highly successful and stable yet facing new competitive challenges. Major development initiatives needed to succeed in order to maintain and increase success.

The audience — full board of highly experienced and professional directors with a long history of working successfully together.

The brief — develop their capability to influence both internally and externally to increase the likelihood that the company would deliver on all its development promises and continue to grow the profitability of the group.

The solution — two facilitators took the board through a two-day team workshop based on the unique intellectual property of contained within The Team Workshop.

The outcome — the two days were very intense as each individual learned about power and influence, how it applied to their group stakeholders and also their individual stakeholders. As a result, each felt far more capable of influencing the right outcomes for the organisation. In the year since their workshop, the company has indeed delivered all its projects. Also, as a direct result of the workshop, they were able to successfully avoid industrial action and now have an excellent relationship with their union.
