  1. The Olympus JourneyBuilding Business Professionals in CEENovember 2011

  2. Why Olympus? • Feedback continues to be poor on relationship skills, diverse points of view, networking and business skills: • Recognition that this severely impairs our distinctive market presence • Opportunity to align TBA, business acumen and business skills agendas • Business Skills core curriculum signed off early 2010: • Desired to be mandatory (by the Board) but insufficient delivery capacity • Implementation patchy across the Region • New Manager grade typified by above average attrition and noticeable reduction in personal development • Commitments to our people made in response to GPS results

  3. What is Olympus? • Olympus is a 4 year programme, completion of which provides: • Completion of the entire core business curriculum • PLUS completion of new business acumen/knowledge modules (eg mini MBA) • PLUS guidance through the Trusted Business Advisor Journey • PLUS observed application of skills developed • Olympus is a disciplined and measurable vehicle for the application of our core curriculum with additional networking and value for our marketing and recruitment • Olympus replaces the New Manager milestone event and the current piece-meal and inconsistent approach to business skills development • Olympus contains all of the mandated Global Relationship models and competencies, is consistent with the TBA journey and will drive the PwC Experience to a different level of audience • Olympus is not a set of new courses although business acumen does account for some new modules and the 70:20 elements are new and no/low cost
