Team Building at a Large Conglomerate

Tweet

 

      A large conglomerate can be a pretty soulless entity. Scores of different businesses scattered all around the globe with the only thing in common being the parent company name.

     A large conglomerate used Corporate Sidekicks at a recent Management Symposium in Orlando to help enhance their team building efforts. The key objective  was to bring together the leaders of the company's far-flung businesses and get them thinking - and acting - like members of a large, singular team to get behind the organization's Value Based Commercial Excellence initiative.

     Over three days Willie interacted live with senior management in carefully scripted - and hilarious - segments that not only added fun but helped drive home management's message in a surprising, memorable way. 

Here's Willie interacting live with the Senior Vice President of the Division

     Willie became the main touchpoint that united this diverse, global audience, bridging cultural and language gaps.  He was the buzz of the meeting, the lead topic of conversation and toast of the banquets.  He became the voice of the audience, the Doubting Thomas who asked the tough questions and pushed back at management to defuse sensitive issues.

     In the end Willie was won over to management's point of view and became a zealous convert. He made such a contribution to the success of the event, he's become a part of their corporate culture and has already been invited back for next year's meeting!
