About This Video
This LMI UK case study captures the William Lamb Group's experience of running an LMI behaviour-change programme with a cohort of emerging leaders inside the 150-year-old British footwear business. The HR sponsor opens the video by explaining why she chose LMI - she had worked with the lead facilitator Neil before, knew the programme content and recognised it would address the specific challenge she was tackling at William Lamb: a population of talented young people who needed to find their voice inside a long-established organisational culture.
Several William Lamb participants speak directly to camera about what surprised them. The programme was 'fun' rather than school-like, eye-opening, feel-good and motivating, and each lesson left them with something to take back into both their work and home lives. One participant notes the time-is-money lesson and the productivity gain that comes from prioritising tasks; another whose team grew during the programme, describes the unexpected emphasis on communication styles, delegation and team-working alongside the personal-productivity content.
The case study highlights one of the structural strengths of the LMI delivery model: by bringing participants from different parts of the business into a single cohort, the programme builds informal cross-functional relationships that would not otherwise exist. Several William Lamb participants describe colleagues they would never have spoken to in a normal working day getting into a room together and forming a small internal community of mutual support. That cohort effect is part of what LMI partners are selling client organisations on, alongside the individual behaviour-change outcomes.
