CASE STUDY
Silicon Valley Tech Company
A risk management team had accurately warned of a user safety issue — but senior leadership failed to act.
Within this Fortune 500 company with over 30,000 employees, risk management’s guidance was not sought out, and a costly mistake was leading to disengagement.
THE SITUATION
When senior leadership overlooked the guidance of this risk management group, leading to a costly incident, department morale plummeted.
Engagement scores dropped over 30% in one quarter, and the group felt invisible and ineffective.
OUR APPROACH
Over the course of six months, our Powerful Under Pressure team conducted stakeholder interviews to identify perception gaps, We discovered that the team was misunderstood as reactive instead of proactive.
We delivered a Strategic Influence Workshop, helping the team map internal influencers and communicate their value under pressure.
Executive coaching and communication skills training reinforced these shifts.
THE RESULTS
- The team saved the company over $1 million in just a single incident.
- The team regained confidence and influence.
- They became an integral part of the product development process.
- Senior leaders became more effective champions of their work.
