How we used TeamBooster to help Pollinate create a cohesive Senior Leadership Team

The Project
In the first year, we have deployed more than six TeamBooster sprints to take their senior leadership team to the next level.

Through a blend of face-to-face and remote delivery that included in-person team days, strategy webinars, one-to-one coaching sessions and a brand new leadership capability framework, we worked collaboratively with Pollinate to accelerate the leadership impact of their 12 SLT members.
