Case Study: Cundall strengthens leadership pipeline with SHL High-Potential Solution

Cundall identifies HIPO to improve leadership pipeline and better target development of all staff

Cundall, a leading international engineering consultancy, needed a better way to identify people with the potential and skills to lead business growth and strengthen its leadership pipeline. Working with SHL, the company focused on developing internal talent more effectively while also improving how it deployed staff across roles and planned for future recruitment needs.

SHL’s High-Potential (HIPO) solution powered Cundall’s “Maximizing Your Potential” program, which used diagnostics, psychometric assessments, benchmarking, and stakeholder interviews to identify high-aspiration, high-ability employees. The result was a stronger leadership pipeline, more targeted development, reduced business risk during leadership transitions, and a more strategic approach to external hiring, with Cundall planning to roll the program out globally.
