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."
