Saville Consulting has been advising Brazil’s multi-national organizations on identifying and developing their leadership in order to meet the extensive challenges resulting from their dynamic growth.
Chris Small, Vice President of International Development at Saville Consulting, has spent the past two weeks attending over a dozen client meetings across Brazil with organizations such as Walmart, Moet Hennessey, PwC and Michael Page. The key themes arising from these meetings centred on the development of leadership capabilities to drive change and the successful identification and management of High Potential talent. In addition, Chris, together with Saville Consulting’s Brazilian partner DA Consulting, ran international training programmes for clients including Novo Nordisk and the Brazilian Stock Exchange. They instructed these organizations in the use of Saville Consulting’s assessment tools for the selection and development of their leadership talent.
The two weeks culminated in a successful breakfast event attended by over 40 HR leaders from some of Brazil’s largest organizations including Itaú, Natura and Telefonica. The theme of the breakfast was ‘Identifying, Managing and Developing Future Business Leaders’. This topic resonated with these HR professionals as they are under pressure to deliver a steady flow of high performing individuals with the potential to manage the rapid growth and organizational change inherent in the dynamic environment of Brazil.
Barbara Demange, MD of DA Consulting commented: “The HR themes in Brazil are the same as anywhere in the world. However, the greatest challenge is dealing with the growth and organizational change happening so quickly in Brazil and key to this is effective leadership. The insights Saville Consulting have provided over the last two weeks into leadership potential and development have been incredibly relevant and the organizations that have been involved are all enormously motivated to put them into action.”
Chris Small concluded: “It has been an enormously successful two weeks. Saville Consulting has a fantastic partner in DA Consulting and with over half our portfolio available in Portuguese, we look forward to continuing the fantastic growth we are experiencing in this important market.”
