Fortune 100 Insurance Division Builds Robust Global Talent Pipeline
Challenge
A division of a Fortune 100 insurance company faced a critical strategic vulnerability: despite completing formal succession planning processes, senior leaders lacked confidence in their identified leadership candidates. This created significant business risk, as the organization had no reliable talent pool to fill crucial strategic positions across its global operations. With international expansion plans threatened by this leadership gap, the company partnered with GPC to transform its talent development approach.
Our Approach
GPC implemented a comprehensive talent strategy using our proprietary leadership assessment model:
-
Diagnostic Evaluation: We conducted a thorough analysis of the existing processes, identifying critical gaps between current methodologies and business requirements.
-
Custom Pipeline Development: We designed and implemented a tailored program that systematically identified, assessed, and developed high-potential talent across nine countries.
-
Performance Measurement: We established clear metrics to track program effectiveness, focusing on leadership readiness, role transitions, development commitment, and confidence levels.
Result
The partnership delivered measurable and immediate business impact:
-
Global Talent Identification: Helped the client identify an initial pipeline of 14 high-potential leaders representing nine countries, creating true global bench strength.
-
Accelerated Career Progression: 50% of identified talent experienced meaningful job changes within 18 months of starting the program, demonstrating rapid deployment of leadership resources.
-
Employee Engagement: 100% of participants reported high motivation to execute their development plans, creating sustainable momentum.
-
Measurable Confidence Growth: Participants experienced 25-50% increases in leadership confidence, directly enhancing performance capabilities.
Based on these compelling outcomes, the Executive Committee approved ongoing program investment and continued partnership with GPC, establishing talent development as a cornerstone of their global strategy.
