Porto Business
School considers the Altri Group to be very relevant as an organisation,
because of its great contribution towards the domestic economy, its strong
international presence, its excellent economic, financial and commercial
performance, its production and innovation and above all, the exceptionally
high quality of the technical and behavioural skills of its top management and
of its teams, who are constantly creating value for all its stakeholders.
It was against
this backdrop, and with a great deal of pride and a deep sense of commitment,
that Porto Business School once more rose to the appealing challenge by the
Altri Academy to jointly develop the Growth Program for Altri High Potentials.
As the fortunate
name implies, the program was designed for young personnel who have a great
potential for future growth within the Altri Group as a whole.
It was with a great deal of pride and a deep sense of commitment, that Porto Business School once more rose to the appealing challenge by the Altri Academy
Launching this
program makes even more sense if we take it in conjunction with the
Breakthrough Program for Altri Future Leaders, held in 2014/15 in the form of a
partnership between Porto Business School and Altri, which was geared towards
more senior personnel who have, generally, been with the group for longer.
Taking into
account the profile of the participants and the strategic goals to develop the Altri
Group’s human capital, Porto Business School and the Altri Academy drew up a
program with the following features:
• Duration: 48
hours
• Number of
participants: distributed among two classes
• Locations
hosting the training initiatives: Porto, Tomar, Furadouro and Figueira da Foz
(Kick Off and Follow Up)
• Subjects/Topics:
Leadership; Working Together; Confidence & Self Improvement; Feedback as a
Gift; Negotiation; Basics of Management; Financial Topics and Management
Indicators
• Teaching
methods: Presentations by teaching staff; Case studies; Role Playing;
Self-testing exercises; Action Learning Groups; Master Ideas Board and Personal
Roadmap.
The features
of the program described aimed to fulfil the following critical success
factors:
• Ensuring the
program was in line with the Altri Group’s strategic and operational ambition,
meaningfully achieved via human capital, information capital and organisational
capital, (leadership, culture, alignment, team work and cooperation), in a
robust and accurate manner, with commitment and pride in being part of the
Group;
• Mobilising and
training participants to handle major individual and Group challenges, via
critical behavioural skills (leadership, teamwork and cooperation, negotiation,
self-awareness, emotional intelligence and individual productivity) and general
management, accounting and financial skills, as relevant for today’s executive
managers.
From our standpoint – Coordinators, Teaching Staff and program Manager – the Program went very well
In order to
achieve these goals, the teaching staff and participants jointly focused on the
teaching methods, namely the Personal Roadmap (individual commitment towards
improvement, made by each participant) and the MIB – Master Ideas Board
(challenges, ideas and suggestions for improvement presented by the
participants, impacting on the Altri Group).
The classroom
lessons kicked off in September and ran through until December 2018, and the
program will now enter its Follow-Up stage to assess its impact on the
individual and team skills of the participants, and therefore on their
individual and organisational performance.
From our
standpoint – Coordinators, Teaching Staff and Program Manager – the program
went very well.
The participants
were a major factor in the success of this program, with their very active
presence, their excellent contributions, and a selfless sharing of their
knowledge and academic, professional and life experiences, which all went to
make up an exceptional group dynamic and a winning culture… and this makes us
very happy, very grateful and a little nostalgic.
Finally, Porto
Business School would like to thank the Altri Group for placing their trust in
us, and we hope to maintain and develop this partnership.
