Harman International needed a consistent approach to leadership development across its global business units. Managers and executives were facing fragmented training, inconsistent expectations, and limited career development pathways. Through Professional Development Consulting (Elevate), we co-designed a Harman Leadership Academy spanning multiple countries and business units.
The academy delivered structured programs from onboarding for early-career talent through director-level and executive leadership training, ensuring a unified leadership culture across the organization. Within 18 months, Harman saw measurable improvements: employee engagement rose, leadership pipelines strengthened, and cross-unit alignment improved significantly.
