Inspiring

Financial Services

Skandia* is, by any standards, an inspiring company. Respected by IFAs and customers alike, known for mould-breaking ideas that evolve the industry it is a company that doesn’t just lead the game but creates it.

As part of our work with this distinguished company we have developed a close working partnership with Skandia International, the offshore and cross-border provider of investment solutions to the Skandia and Old Mutual Groups.

André Oszmann, divisional CEO takes an integral approach to developing his business and the people in it. Over a 2-year period we have worked in depth with this company from the leadership outwards helping them -

• Create new innovations in what they do and how they do it
• Engage their colleagues and customers in these new approaches
• Perform in ways that produce more results with less effort
• Sustain them as they pioneer the market, maintaining balance and ensuring the journey is a pleasure as well as highly effective
• Energise the whole company from the leadership outwards, using energy management and other techniques

We have achieved this through:

• Development waves for the leadership team
• One-to-one guidance for significant individuals
• WorkSmart innovations in how the company meets and works together
• Experiential conferences and offsites

During that time the company has grown in scope and scale, becoming a division in its own right. It has been opening up new markets and continually innovating, testing conditions notwithstanding.

Going For Gold

We are proud to be supporting Skandia International’s work with the British Biathlon Union as they make their bid for Olympic Success.
