Alexander Dennis Ltd and Leadership for Profitable Growth Case Study

The Leadership Factory have been working with Alexander Dennis Ltd for over 2 years on developing their leadership capabilities across the business. ADL are the leading UK bus manufacturer with sites throughout the UK. The Leadership for Profitable Growth programme has involved leaders from sites across the UK working together in 4 x 2 day workshops on key topics including strategy, high performance teams and building a change culture. Individuals have a personal change plan and a business improvement plan that they work on with their colleagues. The business change projects must have a direct bottom line impact on the business, and have been used to increase efficiencies, reduce costs and improve cross-site operations. Additionally, to date 63% of participants on the LfPG have been promoted within ADL. The programme has been so successful that Scottish Enterprise chose ADL as a best practice case study in leadership.
