Supporting Post-Acquisition Integration Through Leadership Development
Sector: SaaS Sector
Business context
We partnered with the People Team at Veriforce to support a deliberate shift in leadership culture across the Senior Leadership Community.
The pace and scale of change required Leaders to re-balance from "dancefloor-level" to “balcony-level” thinking, strengthen cross‑group influence and communication and sustain these new ways of leading both during and beyond integration.
What we did:
A programme of tailored Executive Coaching sessions, underpinned by three way contracting, focused on navigating 'live' leadership challenges and opportunities. As roles and contexts evolved, the coaching was adaptive, supporting leaders’ awareness, personal agency and attention to how their leadership was playing out across teams, stakeholders and the wider business.
The Impact:
- 100% of line managers rated the programme as either very or extremely effective
- Average 54% improvement in sponsor ratings against 3-way coaching outcomes
- 100% of participants reported being either very or extremely likely to sustain the changes made
Client perspective
We saw a real shift in how our leaders were operating - stepping back more, thinking more strategically and engaging more effectively across functions and teams. The feedback from both participants and line managers was consistently strong, and importantly, the changes have been sustained over time.
