A Major Computer Manufacturer , already famous
for its incredibly well-run, just-in-time manufacturing, was
able to cut almost $10 million in costs while improving quality,
safety and employee engagement. They have now licensed Enlightened
Leadership Solution's tools and processes to continue to develop
some of the best managers, supervisors and employees in the industry.
A Federal Law Enforcement Agency asked us
to intercede in one of their largest offices. A change announcement
was scheduled to be made in less than two weeks and the resentment
level within the office was so high that the executive team was
concerned about the outcome. Using the proven tools and processes
of Enlightened Leadership Solutions to prepare the top team for
the introduction of the change, executives received applause
instead of resentment and resistance.

Team Turnaround
A technical manual development
team had become dysfunctional over its 5 year life. Executive
management was unable to effectively resolve product related
problems the team was experiencing. The program was rapidly approaching
a critical milestone that was a deciding factor in its continued
existence. Overall success was dependent on the team's ability
to resolve the product problems. Management had very little confidence
in the team's ability to overcome their challenges. Within six
months of our con sultation, the team was able to develop, communicate
and implement an effective plan to achieve their program goals.
One year after implementation of the plan, the team turned around
what appeared to be a doomed program.
Performance Improvement
A joint military, federal
government and private sector management team faced enormous
political pressure to get an aircraft program involving acquisition,
production and delivery teams to perform at a higher level. Ineffective
collaboration between the government and the military was affecting
the quality of aircraft being produced. By implementing our Integrated
Project Team processes, the teams were able to develop and implement
a strategy that integrated managers and their teams into a multi-disciplined
team environment. This allowed for the rapid identification of
organizational challenges with representation from all departments,
resulting in sustainable solutions. These clients have continued
to use this approach on projects ever since.
Salvaged Project
A software project was slated
for termination because it was over budget, and over a year behind
schedule. After implementing the ELS Integrated Project Team
process, the project was turned around and delivered in less
than five months, salvaging a $20 million investment.
Collaboration
With 17 people dying each day
in the United States while waiting for an organ transplant, the
Division of Organ Transplantation realized that a different approach
to the problem was needed. We worked with this client to develop
cross-functional teams that include hospital administrators,
doctors, nurses, and key leaders from various organizations in
order to change the process for organ procurement. The project
is on-going and organ donations have increased dramatically each
month across the nation.
Project Turnaround
A complex fixed bid IT project
was 18 months behind schedule with only 10 months to go before
a $30 million dollar penalty for late delivery was enforced.
By introducing the tools and processes of Enlightened Leadership
Solutions, this multi-national team was able to deliver the project
one month ahead of the original delivery date, saving the $30
million in penalties plus the huge costs that late delivery would
have added to the penalty.
Find High Performers
A major pharmaceutical
company was frustrated with the performance of a number of their
sales representatives. In a blind test, Enlightened Leadership
Solutions gave a 30-minute online assessment to four salespeople.
We not only accurately identified which two were high-performers
and which two were mediocre performers, we were also able to
define the reasons for their performance levels. This client
is currently implementing the Enlightened Leadership Talent Selection & Development
System.
Benchmarking A Role
A fast-growing, worldwide
company wanted to fill a key senior executive role. Enlightened
Leadership Solutions worked with senior managers for half a day
to establish a clear and measurable benchmark for that role.
Within one hour of beginning the benchmarking process, the CEO
said, " I cannot imagine having tried to fill
this key position without going through this process to determine
the critical soft skill (personal skill) needs of the role." They
went on to hire for the role based on the clear model of the
job needs.
Finding the Right Person
A major software developer
was hiring a number of people for the role of Quality Assurance
Coordinator. When they used our Talent Selection System to benchmark
the needs of the job, they were able to see how some of their
people were not a good match for the job. This was correlated
to performance in the role and linked to a supervisor who had
a tendency to hire people like himself instead of people who
were a good fit for the position.
A Job Model
A rapidly growing, high-tech, national
recruiting firm used the Enlightened Leadership Solution's half-day
process to benchmark their key recruiter role. They then assessed
their top performers using the Personal Talent profile and validated
a close correlation with the new Job Model. This established
confidence that they now know exactly what they are looking for
in new hires for that role. As a result of this success, they
are now benchmarking other key roles in their firm, and have
trained all their office managers in the use of the new Talent
Selection System.
Talent Development
A major federal agency wanted
to determine the development needs of it's senior managers based
on the 27 Core SES Leadership Competencies. Enlightened Leadership
Solutions recognized that it could actually measure 23 of the
27 competencies. This unique capability allowed a direct, simple
assessment of the managers and provided individual reports on
their strengths and opportunities for development based on the
23 core competencies. All of this was performed without the need
for extensive and expensive 360 ---degree assessments.
