CHALLENGE & SOLUTION

Cosmosupplylab has grown both rapidly and organically since its creation in 2000. However, with around 10,000 employees spread across the globe, Cosmo had yet to develop a strategic approach to assessing and developing their most senior leaders. The Group HR Director approached Spring Point to support Cosmo in creating a leadership development and assessment process that aligned with their strategic direction and goals.

In consultation with both the President and HR director at Cosmo, Spring Point established an assessment and insights approach needed to explore perceived capability gaps across the executive leadership team. With a team of Spring Point consultants on sight at Cosmo HQ in Hong Kong, leaders were taken through a number of assessments: including a personality measure, cognitive assessment, the Denison 360 leadership assessment, and a behavioural interview.

The results of these assessments allowed Spring Point to develop an objective picture of the leadership capability gap and its impact on business performance. The senior leaders, Director of Human Resources, and President of Cosmo then took part in individual deep dives to better understand these results, followed by a roundtable session designed to begin the build out of individual development plans and associated learning pathways. To ensure buy-in and commitment from senior leaders, these learning pathways were co-designed to include the capabilities they were most interested in pursuing. Over the next three months, spring point had regular check in meetings with all senior leaders at Cosmo. These check in meetings proved to be incredibly valuable in ensuring leaders took the actions needed to improve capability and achieve sustained high performance in their roles.
