Abstract

Geopost is a leading distribution and logistics player in the UK and Ireland, employing over 3,800 people. It embarked upon a major change and leadership programme, named “Making A Difference” (MAD). Comprised of four modules, MAD has facilitated the development of change management skills and behaviours amongst 60 managers at MAD. MAD encapsulates modules on personal leadership styles, people management and creative thinking and interpersonal skills. It is underpinned by participation in a 360‐degree exercise. The success of MAD at Geopost has been reflected in real bottom line impact areas, as well as many other softer benefits.
