The Project

A Graduate Program review identified opportunities to both enhance the end-to-end learner experience, and sharpen the focus on development of leadership capabilities during the last 6 months of the program.

The Work

The key aim was to help build a leadership pipeline of high potential contributors.

IDA and DLD designed and developed a new program to complement the Group curriculum and offer a business-unit contextualised 18-month experiential program to engage, support, and connect graduates.

To achieve this, IDA and DLD:

• Leveraged and redesigned existing content, learning, and delivery methodologies
• Aligned program with future recruitment definition around ‘potential’
• Nested learning components with organisational technical capabilities and leadership attributes
• Incorporated both internal and external learning experiences, based upon ‘Masterclass’ workshops that fostered a ‘leadership mindset’ and ‘X-factor attributes’

The Outcome

Creation of a highly engaging, memorable, and immersive Graduate program, centred on future-focussed key organisational ‘themes’. A critical outcome was the engagement with managers in supporting guided embedding activities on the job and connecting graduates across different business areas.
