Case Study: Smith & Nephew develops future-fit leaders with Skillsoft

Smith & Nephew - Customer Case Study

Smith & Nephew needed to better equip new leaders with the fundamental leadership and managerial skills required to move beyond onboarding guides and handle responsibilities like hiring, feedback, coaching, and performance management. Working with Skillsoft, the company built its Leadership Beginnings program to help first-time leaders develop the core capabilities needed to lead teams effectively.

Skillsoft helped Smith & Nephew design the program framework and curate learning from its Leadership and Business portfolio, including videos, courses, book summaries, and articles, plus custom content on company-specific processes. The solution also blended assignments, small-group practice, and live webinars to make learning practical and immediately applicable, giving new leaders a safer way to build confidence and skills before using them on the job.
