Case Studies
Selection of case studies that show the depth and diversity of Framework's work over the last 20 years.
Innovating innovation specialists
We worked with different specialist teams at a global publishing and knowledge group to help them think about how to drive innovative behaviours into technology teams.
Using a mixture of showcasing technologies and applications, as well as bringing to life the journeys of several highly creative people, we gave the teams an understanding of how to build a culture supported and promoted innovation across the business and didn't slip deeply into over engineering solutions. Failing fast was not something that fitted well into their highly specialist perfectionist culture.
Leading through real cultural change
Imagine a greenfield development that created one of the world's most profitable automotive businesses: Japanese American JV; French and American leadership blended with local Hungarian and Slovak know-how; pre-accession for Hungary into the European community so a time of massive change.
Largely through very hands on coaching, we worked with all stakeholders, both inside as well as within the Hungarian Government to create an outstanding blueprint for partnership and collaboration. We used the Cyclone model to deliver sustainable successful business transformation.
From start up to listing
Managing business growth
The CEO of a company initially set up to identify, develop and commercialise opportunities in pharma was seeking to grow the business into a specialty pharma business with innovative treatments. In short the company would be catapulted into the world of established quoted pharmaceuticals. He was passionate about wanting to hold on to the values and culture that kept the company inquisitive and entrepreneurial but, at the same time, put in place structures, processes and disciplines that instilled the rigour and acumen of a respected commercially astute business.
Building a high performing leadership team
Adaptive leadership in a fast moving business
The VP of the IS function of a global drinks company sought my help in building her leadership team from scratch into a high performing team impacting across the business. Her challenges included: building their identity as a leadership team (their purpose, vision and their operating principles); designing a process to cascade the high performing team environment throughout the IS function; and coaching individuals and their teams to ensure follow through and a continued noticeable impact on the business.
Getting ahead of the competition in mature markets
Thinking outside the box across industries
One of my favourite activities is to get people to share ideas and experiences from different industries - where they are not directly competing and where ideas can cross-fertilise. I designed and ran a session where the subject was how to develop a culture of innovative behaviour and thinking in business - an idea feared by many as it ‘goes against the grain’. With the support of an inventor friend, I made sure our session generated both excitement and a few 'aha' moments.
