LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Grant Thornton, a leading global professional services network, announced the successful completion of a groundbreaking leadership development program in collaboration with Fruit4Growth and N.E.W.S.®, a global company specializing in leadership development. The program aimed to equip Grant Thornton’s teams with the tools and skills they need to navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing global landscape and lead the firm into the future.
“We are proud to take part in the training of the future managers of the Grant Thornton firm. The methodology we developed offers a package of solutions designed to improve skills, implement innovation, and grow managers in organizations facing frequent global changes. In times of uncertainty, we offer companies the appropriate tools to achieve resilience and organizational growth.” said Marina Giareni, CEO of N.E.W.S.®
The program involved interactive workshops for approximately 200 participants, held at the firm’s headquarters in Athens, as well as in offices across Northern Greece and Crete, over six months. The workshops were based on the NEWS Compass® methodology, a suite of twelve award-winning solutions designed to foster innovative thinking, enhance skills, and provide tools for successful navigation in a world of complex global change. N.E.W.S.® is particularly strong in helping organizations thrive and prosper in times of continuous change and uncertainty and has established itself as a key resource for organizational resilience and growth.
The Grant Thornton project aimed to implement a comprehensive program for senior teams as well as high-potential employees identified for leadership roles. One of the most important aspects was to equip future leaders with the appropriate tools, including enhanced team and feedback skills, to enable them to lead the firm forward. The implemented program was based on N.E.W.S.®’s manager leadership development solutions.
“Considering the results and feedback we received from our colleagues, I would classify N.E.W.S.®’s leadership development program as innovative,” said Dr. Panagiotis Kontos, Senior Manager of People Experience and Culture at Grant Thornton. “We are grateful for this enriching process we have gone through. It was very important for us to return to face-to-face seminars to offer the most engaging learning experience for our employees. As Einstein said, ‘I never teach my students, I only try to provide the conditions under which they can learn.’ The collaboration with N.E.W.S.® and Fruit4Growth was just the beginning.”
“Working with Grant Thornton has been a truly rewarding and inspiring experience,” said Lilian Moschidou, Vice President of Leadership Development at Fruit4Growth, a key partner of N.E.W.S.®. “Grant Thornton’s commitment to continuous learning and development aligns perfectly with our mission to cultivate exceptional leadership and drive organizational success for our clients. By equipping team leaders with advanced feedback and team skills, we have jointly contributed to their culture of excellence and ongoing development.”
