DP World is a global logistics and trade company with over 110,000 employees from 150 nationalities, operating in 75 countries. DP World’s purpose is to make trade flow and change what’s possible for everyone. With an aspirational strategy and year on year commercial growth, the organisation identified leadership as a critical enabler for remaining a market leader in the global market.

To fulfil this, DP World sought support to create a leadership development solution that redefined what it means to be a leader at DP World, across all regions, and to establish a consistent leadership language and capability across the workforce.

What we did:

Through a competitive bidding process Spring Point were engaged to design three programs, The delivery plan encompassed essential components, including the creation of distinct leadership modules tailored to different leadership tiers within the organisation. These modules were designed to equip DP World leaders accordingly, with the ultimate view of enabling the 110,000+ workforce.

• Frontline supervisors with the skills necessary to achieve sustainable results 
• Middle managers with the ability to organise team efforts effectively and allocate resources for maximum impact 
• Senior managers with the skills needed to translate organisational approaches into tangible and strategic actions .

The design process involved interviews, focus groups and workshops to conduct a thorough learning needs analysis. This was followed by a design phase consisting of the development of blended learning programs (including a range of participant touchpoints, grounded in adult learning science), and an initial pilot phase. Centred on themes around self-leadership, leading others, and strategic leadership, the programs have been successfully deployed, and are currently running as part of our scaled rollout phase across the globe by Spring Point's global facilitation team. 



Outcomes:

Initial evaluation results have demonstrated scores exceeding key L&D global benchmark standards (Corporate University Benchmark - All), with current deployment locations including the UAE, UK, North America, South America, Europe and APAC.
