For the firm whose leadership development programme recognises leadership gaps and provides relevant and innovative interventions.
2019 winner
PwC
PwC’s Endeavour programme is aimed at Senior Managers. It helps them develop their leadership skills … especially the softer skills required to lead clients, colleagues, and teams.
The judges were particularly impressed by three aspects of this Endeavour programme:
1. The programme employs a broad range of learning techniques, but more importantly it integrates them well and includes substantial involvement of partners both as stakeholders and 1-on-1 with participants.
2. The programme has clear goals and objectives, and the results appears to be relevant and well-measured.
3. PwC’s submission was clearly written, in a lively manner, with engaging support including video, and with relevant testimonials from participants.
