| White Water Consulting has specialized in
financial services and insurance companies, however most of the
projects are transferable from one industry to the another. Here are
some examples of our client projects: |
| |
|
- A Boston Based International Company relied on WWC's
ability to design, develop and implement management development
program initiatives based on business needs and competency
assessments.
WWC has built and successfully implemented a best practice
management development process for largest division of the
company.
|
 |
The process is based on a competency assessment, with a series
of functional and cross-functional week-long development
experiences.
The programs are challenging, case driven and are based on
proven models and current best practice research. We deliver each
of the sessions and often use a "Socratic" method of discovery.
Managers are held accountable for closing their individual
competency gaps during their current performance
cycle.
