How do you create ownership of an ambitious growth strategy across 500 global leaders? 

Ferring Pharmaceuticals needed their leaders to feel personally accountable for delivering the company strategy. 

Our Approach

We designed and delivered Ferring’s first ever global leadership event – a three-day programme broadcast live from a TV studio in Switzerland, reaching 500 leaders across multiple regions and time zones. The theme, Leadership Starts With You, was the operating principle for everything we built – every session, every workshop, every moment of the programme carried a clear accountability imperative. 

Executive-led sessions set the strategic context. Hands-on workshops pushed leaders to work through what it meant for them specifically. User-generated video content, gathered from colleagues around the globe, brought the human reality of the strategy to life. And deliberate community-building moments ensured leaders left feeling connected and informed. 

Impact

  • 500 global leaders reached across a three-day live broadcast 
  • More than 80% left with specific, defined actions to apply in their own area of responsibility 
  • Ferring’s first ever global virtual leadership event – delivered from a live TV studio
