Evolve is a unique and powerful deliverable that creates tangible and sustainable improvements in business results. Here’s some examples of the Evolve client experience.
“I have used Christian Simpson and Evolve to work with my emerging and current leaders because of the unique ability of their approach to unlock potential and shift the thinking of my people. I have been immensely impressed by the very pragmatic approach to gaining return on investment and the exponential growth we’ve witnessed in individuals and business performance in a global team of 350 people in 5 different geographic regions. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Evolve and Christian Simpson to any business with an appetite for sustainably improving results”
Christopher Ainslie, Vice President, BT Global Partners
“My business was entering a very difficult period and I needed to change the way my leadership team addressed the teams below them, effectively replacing management behavior with effective and influential leadership. The business was for sale and we needed to generate top line growth whilst still retaining our talent. Not only did our work with Evolve result in full retention of good people in difficult times, we also had an inspired group of people who have contributed to real pipeline growth of high quality solution business. Additionally, we’re now engaged with more prospective clients than we’ve had in numerous years. Without question, the innovative and unique approach Evolve brought to my business has been the most rewarding investment I have made in terms of real business growth. I would strongly recommend Evolve Business Performance to any business looking for a step-change in performance with tangible business results through the development of strong leadership ability.”
Peter Keeble, Head of Sales & Marketing, Siemens Enterprise Communications
“I was really impressed by the impact the Evolve approach had on the senior managers within our business. Given that these people are very proficient and have a tendency to be cynical, the Evolve approach won them over and we have seen a significant transformation in their behavior. This was a cultural change project that has resulted in much higher levels of engagement in our teams and tangible business results. I’d strongly advise any company looking to achieve sustainable improvements in performance through leadership development that really works to contact the people at Evolve because I know they can really help you”
Lucinda Carney, Head of L&D, Siemens Enterprise Communications
“The deployment of the Evolve leadership and coaching principles fused 4 separate functions and cultures into one business division. It became apparent that the only way to create a level playing field was not to favour any one business culture over another but rather to create an environment where everyone had to learn a new way of working together. The intention was merely to break down barriers and open the possibility of new business practices, in effect this requirement was totally overachieved. The measurable benefits produced from this activity materialised in two areas. The first was a motivated, informed function that knew why they were being fused and actually developed sales leads and propositions beyond existing offerings, creating 2 brand new market propositions. Secondly, we were able to reduce operating costs by 20% for a loss of only 5% of turnover. This in no small way was enabled by the management understanding the people and their capabilities in a changing environment. Would I repeat the exercise and recommend the services of Evolve – unequivocally yes!
