Leadership and Management

Improving leadership in major projects at an international oil & gas company

The client was faced with management of an aggressive infrastructure development plan to monetize the country’s largest gas fields.

Working with the major projects senior team, Waypoint’s consultant installed a business management system to proactively monitor the unit’s annual capital spend of US$686M.

To support this implementation, Waypoint collected 360o leadership and team effectiveness data which was used to conduct weekly coaching sessions with the unit’s top five leaders in service of the safety, schedule, and budget targets.

Leadership development at a US$3B natural gas transmission company

With many of the company’s long-standing executives approaching retirement, the client faced an impending succession issue.​ Waypoint’s consultants deployed a learning-by-doing development approach which challenged participants to apply leadership training to specific operational targets in the workplace.​ In addition, we installed a data-driven business management system which formed the basis for executives to lead their teams in a performance focused environment.
