VIKING’s Leadership Success Began with Individual Attention

When One-Size-Fits-All Leadership Programs Fall Short

Through an engagement survey, VIKING became aware of some management challenges faced by two leaders who had the potential for improvement and growth.

According to Mette Berg, Vice President People & Organization at VIKING, they wanted to follow up on the two leaders’ progress, which required an individual approach given that they faced different challenges:

Personalized Development Tools That Address Leadership Challenges

This was an occasion to use Ennova’s former Fast Track program, which focused on a leader’s specific situation and leadership challenges.

The two leaders were given useful tools that focused on each leader's development areas. This gave them the opportunity to try out the new leadership tools in practice and then evaluate the results in consultation with Ennova’s occupational psychologists.

Mette Berg believes the individual focus of the program gave the whole process tremendous value for the leaders:

"The individual focus of Ennova's Fast Track program was unique, because it gave our leaders some very useful tools that allowed them to focus on precisely what it is they needed help with."

Mette Berg also believes it was beneficial to offer the program in connection with the engagement survey, and would use Fast Track again if the need arises.

“It was particularly beneficial to link the program with the engagement survey, which indicated that there was a need for sparring and training of some of our leaders. So I could certainly see using the Fast Track program again if the need arises.”

According to Mette Berg, the cooperation with Ennova has been positive, and she says that Ennova provided qualified assistance in relation to the scope of the work and VIKING's needs.

“I found Ennova’s work to be very competent, and the framework of the whole process has been very satisfactory.”
