G8 DELIVERS RESULTS FOR MULTINATIONAL ORGANISATION

KPMG Ireland has appointed leadership training organisation, The G8 Group for a second two year contract reflecting a six figure financial investment.

The Scottish based company (established in 2003) headed up by inspirational coach, Nick Dillon, may have a controversial company name right now, which conjures up a reflex reaction from everyone, but the G8 Group’s aim and Nick’s passion is to create a reflex action across all staff in an organisation to make a measurable difference – reflecting increased revenues and job satisfaction.

On completion of Nick Dillon’s delivery of the second G8 Group contract at KPMG, Elaine McGleenan, Director of Learning and Development at KPMG Ireland said, “The G8 Group helped us achieve the impossible with the highest scoring feedback ever – our newly trained managers at KPMG Ireland have already created an impact on all aspects of their work both in our offices and with clients creating a renewed vigour in our business”.

Nick Dillon said, “When asked to provide 'continued management training' for our managers in this multinational organisation, we dared to go a step further than continue the delivery of the expected training programme. We went off the script. We re-created the material which now forms a two day development programme that leaves each manager with the knowledge, skills and inspiration to start to behave more effectively. The results revealed increasing profitable fees, more effective consultant utilisation and greater opportunity for business referrals.

“On teamwork issues, the answers were related to improved cross-team communications, demonstrably better working relationships and a better understanding of how to get the very best out of others. The results of these changed behaviours in turn led to improved links with key clients, faster turnaround on projects and more efficient fee collection”.
