Case
Peab is one of the Nordic region’s leading construction and civil engineering companies with four cooperating business areas and 15,000 employees in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark.
Requirements
Enabling new business models, strengthening corporate culture and clarifying goals and expectations.
Solution
Four-level leadership program with a common base that drives towards the group’s strategic objectives.
Result
These efforts have strengthened the culture, led to increased collaboration and improved performance and profitability.
Through shared leadership throughout the organization, we enable “One Peab” that creates higher customer value.
Peab exceeds all expectations and achieves the goal of being "the most profitable company in the industry". This was four years after Mindset started development programs for their managers at all levels, from supervisors to CEOs. The initiative at Peab has also been awarded gold in Exellence in Leadership Development by the Brandon Hall Group.
The training is in a hybrid format that combines physical and virtual meetings spread over time, with a focus on practical application in the business. Participants are trained in real cases and process issues from their daily lives. In this way, we train each level of manager based on their context, in both WHAT to do and HOW to do it.
Through leadership, we create a common understanding of where we are going, how we are going to get there and the will to do it together.

- Increased collaboration that creates new business

Methodology
Mindset delivers leadership training that is grounded in reality, by which I mean that it can be practiced immediately upon returning to work. Mindset keeps it practical and pragmatic all the way, from defining the need together, designing the training, implementing it and following up.
