BAI Communications: A Leadership Development Case Study

About

BAI Communications designs, builds and operates communications networks – broadcast, radio, cellular, Wi-Fi, and digital – keeping people connected across the globe. The Dare to Lead programme develops key talent in the business to help people achieve sustainable personal and organisational results. In its first year alone fifty leaders, including the Global CEO, have completed the program.

Objective

The programme enables and embeds the long-term leadership behaviour change required at BAI by:

inspiring its managers and leaders
developing their confidence to get the best from themselves and their teams
building a culture of empowerment, support, and challenge

Solution

Participants embark on a three-module 12–18 month journey to develop leadership effectiveness through dialogue, coaching, high performing teams and organisational change. The programme combines Impact’s Team Performance Inventory, personal feedback and full programme evaluation.

Result

Evaluation data shows:

92% of participants strongly recommend this programme
There is a 48% average increase in individual’s knowledge, skills and awareness of key objectives
72% of participants use learning from the programme at least fortnightly

“The programme is a core component of our strategy to develop our leaders across the organisation and build on our culture for ongoing development. We are very pleased with the results we have seen with the programme to date”. - Caren Schadel, Chief HR Officer, BAI
