To drive their vision in establishing a growing, autonomous and sustainable Consumer HealthCare business, a major pharmaceutical HR department knew that it had to start transforming and prioritising the development of its people. And so, they sought the help of XPotential to build a comprehensive marketing competency framework and competency assessment to elevate their team, identifying development opportunities that in turn will help deliver outstanding growth for their Consumer Healthcare Marketing Department.
Getting the CHC Marketing team ready with right competencies
XPotential worked with the HR and Marketing Teams to understand what competencies were currently in place and sent a questionnaire to key stakeholders across the various functions and target countries to assess the needs from the different markets and global teams. From these results and a review of best practice competency models, XPotential drafted the CHC Marketing Competency Framework, identifying 10 key areas for focus. We then held a 1-day ‘co-creation’ workshop with a team of key stakeholders to define and finalise the framework. From here the framework was finalised, with sign off from the Vice President Global Strategic Operations, and then rolled out to the entire CHC marketing team supported by webinars and online support.
Identifying areas for development through a comprehensive online assessment
To keep the momentum going the HR department assigned XPeople (powered by Aprais) to carry out a comprehensive assessment of its marketing community based on behaviours demonstrated against the new marketing framework. This allowed the HR team to get a full view of the marketing community from global view down to regional team, markets and individual levels. This provided not only the current state but more importantly a deep understanding of the areas for development for each individual and country team. These results enabled local managers to have the right conversations with their people in order to develop them in the right way. Through XPeople, the client was also able to identify centres of excellence in terms of geographical areas and even down to individuals – whose expertise may be utilised in sharing of best practices across teams and regions.
