M&G Wealth Platform 'One Team' High-Performance Programme

CHALLENGE
To build sustained high-performance teamwork and collaboration between the M&G Wealth Platform Executive Team and wider Management Teams in a complex matrix management structure and through a challenging transformation programme.

SOLUTION
Transition 15 co-designed a bespoke 'One Team' high-performance programme for the Executive Team to create a picture of success as a team, build a strong team dynamic and an aligned way of working. To support this, we also engaged the Management Teams, as part of a wider programme, to cascade a common language and behaviour framework and define new WOW and world-class collaboration as 'One Team'.

RESUTS
Developing a 'One Team' culture throughout the Platform has enabled the Executive Team to build influence within the Group and set the wider team and Platform up for future success.

‘T15 have worked extensively with our Executive and wider Management Teams. We have been undergoing a 4-year transformation programme and we have partnered with them every step of the way.

The collaboration, teamwork and relationships built and maintained have been invaluable. We very much look forward to working with them going forward.’

Bart Ingredients- 'The Bart Way' High-Performance Programme

CHALLENGE
Following a period of growth in size and scale, and a move to new state-of-the-art facilities, there was a need to bring a new team together and re-energise as a high-performing, cross-functional team. Alongside this, it was necessary to begin preparing the next generation of management to lead the business in the future.

ACTION
Transition 15 worked with Bart to co-design a bespoke 'One Team' high-performance programme focusing on individual, team and organisational levels.

We created a 'Heads of' departments, cross-functional HPT programme to build a foundation of trust, develop high-performance habits and define new WOW and collaboration between the teams. Using behaviour preference profiling as a foundation, we then worked with the functional teams to cascade a common language and framework to drive change and achieve tangible results quickly.

With the SLT, we worked to develop leadership capability at individual and team level, to drive the strategy forward and achieve their vision.

RESUTS
Defining a shared purpose, principles and what success looks like as a cross-functional team has enabled a new WOW and effective collaboration as 'One Team', resulting in greater autonomy and empowerment. In turn, the SLT has been able to 'lift their heads' and focus less on day-to-day management and more on business strategy and are now ready to lead the company in the future.

Cascading a common language and behaviour framework through the organisation has helped to re-engage all in a 'One Team' framework.

‘T15 have transformed our cross functional ways of working on both an individual and team level. Matt has an incredible level of emotional intelligence and an ability to adapt and bring multiple cross functional teams together to achieve the common goal, ensuring each of the departmental roles are understood and appreciated by all. I can’t recommend highly enough the value Matt and T15 have brought to our business’

Transition 15 has been invaluable in helping us develop our sales strategy providing practical leadership coaching to identify alternative perspectives, identify our own strengths and, where appropriate, actively coaching the team to generate and co-create solutions.
