About

Wärtsilä is a global leader in complete lifecycle power solutions for the marine and energy markets. The company has operations in nearly 170 locations in 70 countries worldwide. Impact developed two initiatives to instil a coaching culture in Wärtsilä.

Creating a high-performance culture in the business, through the development of coaching skills in a Coaching for Performance programme and the use of a coaching approach in a Leading Teams programme.

 

Having to anticipate changes in the global marketplace and being able to add value to their customers increasingly, senior leaders in the business recognised that they needed to adapt their business model to remain competitive.

Wärtsilä and Impact have worked in partnership since 2011, delivering an event for the Top 12 of the Services division globally that focused on developing the team to lead a coaching culture.

Coaching for Performance - This programme was designed to enable Wärtsilå managers to take responsibility for creating a ‘high performance culture’ in the business, through the development of coaching skills and the use of a 'coaching approach’.

Leading Teams - The Leading Teams programme aimed to support senior management teams in the implementation and achievement of the team’s business strategy and helped unleash the hidden potential of the team’s resources. 

To date, over 230 managers across five continents have taken part in Coaching for Performance workshops. Participants have made significant progress in developing their own coaching capability that works for them in their business context.

Feedback was extremely positive and results indicated a significant improvement across the coaching competencies measured.

Development Manager
Play
“Impact worked with a group of 12 high potential managers from PLAY. The main objective was to support the participants to create their own development plans. Impact’s development centres are different; participants are part of the learning process, receiving regular feedback to help build a picture of ability along with identifying improvement areas. The project, which was professionally designed and delivered, ensured that each participant benefitted from opportunities for personal insight and learning."

The financial industry is changing rapidly, there are many disruptions knocking at our door. The shortage of professionals on the labor market not being the slightest, leaders need to interact humanly and use the power of swarm intelligence. To help us solve these problems we need to transform our business through leadership development. As we develop our leaders, we are also ready to tackle the challenges that are ahead of us, and to become more futureproof.
