Top 20 firm MHA MacIntyre Hudson chose ICAEW to design and deliver a programme aimed at the future leaders of their firm. The programme had four key objectives:

• develop the leadership and commercial skills required for credible successors;
• attract and retain the best people;
• develop a ‘ONE’ firm culture where real issues can be shared/solved; and
• prepare more women for entering into partnership.

ICAEW solution

High-performing senior managers are selected from across regional offices and taken through an intense modular and coaching programme that challenges them to think and behave like commercial business leaders.

Delegates leave with increased confidence, better understanding of what it means to be a partner in MHA and personal strategies to achieve success in the role.

Rakesh Shaunak, CEO, MHA MacIntyre Hudson, says: “The biggest benefit has been the mindset change. Individuals now realise they need to be working on the business rather than in the business. The focus for them is growth, clients and strategy rather than technical work, which is exactly the shift I was looking for.”
