Case Study: Swiss Re transforms leadership culture with Impact International

Swiss Re transforms leadership across its top 300 people over 4 years with Impact International

Impact International partnered with Swiss Re to address a critical leadership development challenge. The customer, a major global financial services firm, needed to transform the interpersonal skills and prevailing leadership culture of its top 300 executives worldwide. This CEO-sponsored, mandatory program had to immediately engage a highly intellectual and experienced audience that was demanding immediate value.

The solution designed by Impact International was an intensive, five-day experiential learning journey. It featured a realistic 24-hour business simulation involving actors and executives, a leadership enquiry process, and intensive personal feedback sessions. This program ran for four highly successful years, ultimately transforming the leadership culture at Swiss Re. The partnership between Impact International and Swiss Re Academy was so effective that it won the Excellence in Practice Award for ‘Partnership in Organisation Development’.
