Best Results in a Learning Program

When it comes to Leadership Development, little more matters than positive outcomes.

The Emerging Sales Leader Development program was developed at the global medical device company Medtronic for sales representatives who would like to be promoted into their first sales management role. The Insight Experience business simulation was originally integrated into the program in 2008 and later modified in 2014 to expand the talent component of the experience. Through artful design and robust facilitation, we were able to create a program  focused on developing key behaviors ahead of the the first promotion to sales leader:

  • Coaching and developing others 
  • Thinking strategically and appropriately allocating time
  • Managing a diverse team with a range of performers
  • Effectively communicating and building influence with senior leaders to gain buy-in
This program has generated impressive and measurable impact for its alumni, including promotability and diversity in new sales leadership. This is accomplished by presenting new frameworks and tools for leading and managing, exposure to new ideas and scenarios through case studies, interacting and networking with experienced sales leaders, as well as a customized business simulation.
