Two years after the merger that created one of Europe’s largest investment companies, abrdn found themselves in need of a total reboot. Leaders of the split organization needed to unite behind a single direction – and form as one tribe.

- Designed and delivered a 2-day workshop to unite top 200 leaders around the new direction
- Worked with 18 global leadership teams to align their functional objectives to the new strategy
- Ran virtual cross-business commitment sessions to engage all 6,000 colleagues
Outcomes
abrdn was able to create a global shift across 6,000 people by coming together as one tribe, committing and mobilising around their new strategy.
