SkillTree Leadership Programs and Results

STATE GOVERNMENT

State of California, Board of Equalization

Challenge: This progressive organization wanted more from their Public Supervisory and Leadership Academy. They envisioned training that would create forward thinking leaders, who developed strategic contributors and successors.

Solution: The Board of Equalization’s leadership met with SkillTree. The Board of Equalization shared their vision, strategy, and constraints for developing organizational leaders. SkillTree translated their operating context into strategic leadership competencies and content consistent with top performing organization’s both nationally and internationally.

ROI: With uncompromising quality, SkillTree’s innovative transformational leadership learning solution reduced the Board’s program costs by 25 - 30% by proactively limiting customization, print productions, and consultation expenses associated with their recurring public leadership program.

HEALTHCARE

Sutter Health Medical Foundation & Affiliates

Challenge: This major healthcare concern and its affiliates needed leadership training development and delivery services for their cutting edge leadership professionals, in concert with Sutter Health University. Sutter Health and Affiliates needed on-demand leadership training that echoed their commitment to excellence and financial stewardship.

Solution: Sutter Health University consultants and managers met with SkillTree. They discussed ongoing learning programs and healthcare quality initiatives. SkillTree was tasked with augmenting the Sutter Health University Leadership Training Cadre. SkillTree learned and delivered Sutter Health’s training curriculum, offered low cost curriculum development, and seasoned training staff, who passionately delivered Sutter Health’s key messages.

ROI: SkillTree’s training augmentation enabled Sutter Health University to cover demand courses, avoid hiring additional staff, and easily back filled key trainer’s on extended absences during a major staff restructuring. With SkillTree’s support, Sutter Health University was able to avoid postponing key learning engagements and service interruptions, for health professionals needing continuing education units, mandatory training, and learning refreshers.

MANUFACTURING

Anheuser-Busch, Inc .

Challenge: This progressive organization wanted more from their Coaching and Mentoring program. They envisioned training that would create forward thinking leaders, who developed strategic contributors and leadership successors.

Solution: The Fairfield Brewery Training and Executive met with SkillTree. The Executive team expressed their vision, strategy, and constraints for augmenting their mentor/mentee program. SkillTree translated their operating context into strategic leadership competencies and content consistent with other top performing organization’s both nationally and internationally. SkillTree’s customized learning solutions included a top-tier mentor/mentee training program and an intensive communications component. The additional learning component helped ensure the mentors and mentees effectively communicated their meaning and interests in their coaching/mentoring discussions for maximum impact.

ROI: Anheuser-Busch received savings in two areas: Productivity and Program Expenses. SkillTree provided Anheuser-Busch a customized 2 hour program distilled from a standard 4 hour program. SkillTree not only outperforms the nearest competitors’ pricing, but offered shorter, more intensive learning engagements, which limited training’s impact on organizational productivity.

EDUCATION

University of California Davis, Operations and Maintenance

Challenge: The Operations and Maintenance Leadership needed a highly flexible, straight-forward leadership academy that fit their limited time, cost, and content requirements. Because of coverage issues, traditional training programs could not be utilized without incurring overtime, safety, or coverage issues on campus.

Solution: The Operations Maintenance and HR Team collaborated with SkillTree. SkillTree considered the constraints and deployed its Power-Train Leadership Academy. For a fraction of most leadership academy’s cost, SkillTree provided 5 key learning topics over 5 weeks:

• 1.5 hours per day
• Motivational format
• Intensive, real-world Q&A

SkillTree, at no charge, made themselves available for employee questions, post-training and via email. The University supervisors were kept engaged with a blending of Division, HR, and SkillTree messages that enabled participant’s immediate execution on key learning topics. Finally, SkillTree’s Power-Train program provided colorful, diagrammatic tool cards, in lieu of workbooks, so leaders could reference and recall all strategic leadership behaviors without fail.

ROI: SkillTree saved The Operations and Maintenance organization’s time, money, and refresher training cost, by designing a highly flexible learning program that blended key organizational and learning message into an impacting 1.5 hour learning engagement spread over 5 weeks.
