Fortune 500 insurance company launches customized 14-week PowerUp Leadership Program to develop 20 high-performing leaders at Director to VP level across global workforce.

We’ve been engaged by a Fortune 500 insurance company to co-create and deliver the PowerUp Leadership Development Program, a comprehensive initiative designed to enhance leadership capabilities of high-performing leaders across their organization.

Strategic Investment in Leadership Development

The organization operates in 21 markets worldwide with over 14,000 employees. Recognizing the need to develop senior leadership capabilities and strengthen their leadership pipeline, the company chose to invest in a structured development program for leaders who have demonstrated strong performance and future potential.

Aligning with Organizational Priorities

This program aligns with the company’s strategic initiative to equip the business to succeed by empowering people to learn, grow and thrive. The PowerUp program specifically targets leaders at the Director to VP level with high performance ratings, selected through a competitive application process involving anonymous review by a cross-functional selection committee.

Our Customized Approach

We’re delivering a tailored 14-week leadership development experience through several key components:

• Customized 360-degree assessment mapped to the organization’s Senior Leader Success Profile
• Six targeted workshops addressing core leadership competencies including Leading Teams, Relationships and Influence, Setting Strategy, and Executing for Results
• Three group coaching sessions facilitating peer learning and cross-functional connections
• Structured application assignments between sessions for immediate implementation
• Individual development planning integrated into the organization’s existing talent systems
• Manager engagement strategy including kickoff sessions and monthly updates

Building Leadership Pipeline Strength

The program addresses three critical organizational needs: providing high-performing leaders with structured development opportunities, embedding principles of employee-owned career development through individual development planning, and developing specific leadership skills through focused, practical experiences.

The participants represent multiple countries and regions across the organization’s global workforce, creating opportunities for cross-functional collaboration and strengthening organizational culture beyond business unit boundaries.
