Case Trioworld: Leaders of the Future

The Trioworld Senior Leadership Programme is an excellent example of how to use leadership learning as a lever for organisational and sectoral transformation.

The Trioworld Group is on an ambitious journey which will have a significant and very positive impact on the plastics industry - the leadership learning designed in partnership with Henley in the Nordics has and will equip the senior leaders of the Group with the technical and human-centric capabilities to influence this transformation.

However an important point - effective transformation is not just about skills and capabilities - it's all about mindset. It is clear that the senior leaders of the Trioworld Group have the mindset - the motivation, the passion, the ambition - to deliver this future.

The aim of the programme was to develop Trioworld’s future leaders to become the ambassadors of change and making them feel as forerunners of the whole industry. People who lead the way on how the group works and communicates it to the organisation.

Key objectives for the programme are to strengthen leaders’ ability to communicate and influence effectively in different contexts, cross-functionally, and in matrix organisation as well as to support their growth as self-aware and responsible leaders.
