The Executive of one of Australia’s largest organisations decided to harness the energy and talent of a cross-functional network of Executive Assistants to improve connection across the business, execution of the strategy, operational performance, alignment and engagement.
Using WildWorks’ facilitation methodology, the group excelled during a period of on-going transformation, evolving expectations around roles, increasing organisational and external complexity, and a shifting definition of value within the organisation.
The culminating Session and follow-ups focused on building clarity around roles and priorities, strengthening integration across the group, opportunities for growth and creating a shared understanding of what the ‘EA of the future’ could represent.
Participants were positioned to take greater ownership, while building the alignment, confidence and momentum required to support the organisations overall objectives.
- Aligned and shared understanding of direction (organisationally and for leaders)
- Clear strategic priorities aligned with organisational direction
- Strengthened team integration and collaboration across functions
- Support network established – on-going momentum
- Proactive, empowered and ‘business first’ mindset – ‘EA of the future’
- Increased morale and engagement
- Increased clarity around what is critical (and therefore next steps)
WildWorks developed and facilitated an approach that strengthened alignment and engagement across the Executive Assistant community while creating clarity around future priorities and opportunities for growth.
- Align the Executive Assistant group around:
- Inspiring individual growth opportunities
- How to operate with agility and adaptability in a changing environment
- A shared understanding of purpose
- Clear strategic priorities for the next 1–2 years
- Strengthen team connection and cross-functional integration
- Create alignment around the groups evolving role and the value they bring to the organisation
- Enable collective ownership of the future direction
- Empower the team to define their own contribution
- What does an ‘EA of the future’ look like?
