Results

Embedded cultural change to support Photobox’s long-term strategy. Communication improved significantly across the company through the implementation and regular use of Jyre developmental models, framework and data.

Major outcomes included:

  • senior leaders better understood and  played to their distinctive strengths, while mitigating for shared blind-spots;
  • increased ‘ownership of the whole’
  • development of a strong performance and learning culture for future senior leader hires to join
  • data-informed recruitment decisions

Jyre helped us create a set of leadership principles and a framework to navigate leadership expectations at Photobox.

The combination of Jyre’s digital product and expert support — flexed around individual interests and needs — helped build self-awareness of leadership strengths while helping our people with their development.
