Project Overview

Our client — a top-tier global energy provider undergoing major transformation — recognised that its senior leaders needed more than operational excellence. As they pivoted toward renewable energy, digital innovation, and cross-border collaboration, they needed leaders who could embody the future of the business — and bring their people with them.
KOAP was engaged to design and deliver a global leadership development journey for over 150 senior leaders across three regions.

  • Six-month experience

    A six-month learning experience titled International Foundations in Leadership

  • Improved cross-functional collaboration, driving faster decision-making
  • Stronger bench strength for succession planning and future leadership roles
  • A shift in leadership behaviours, with increased psychological safety and accountability
