Increasing retention and revenuesProfessional Services22%Increase in commitment and effective ownership17%Increase in retention“Contexis are simply the furthest forward in the science of what activates performance and purpose in Business.” - PartnerInternational professional services firm increases engagement, retention and revenues.
The firm had the common problem of silo-driven management - with a focus on the success of individual practices not firm-wide commercial interests.Contexis Insight data revealed that senior management measured poorly in feelings of ownership, commitment and responsibility.
A sophisticated engagement programme, targeted at specific offices and groups identified as at risk in the analysis, resulted in an increase in commitment and effective ownership of 22% over a 12 month period.
This led to enhanced strategic collaboration opportunities and increased cross-group fee generation as well as an overall increase in retention of the most valuable fee earners of 17%.

Winning clients by understanding entrepreneursGlobal Banking78NPS for the course$100mEstimated new business uncovered“I learned more in this 3 day course than I did in most of my MBA classes.”The bank had restructured its Corporate arm to expand services, but managers lacked strategic expertise.
Drawing on unparalleled expertise in entrepreneurial understanding, Contexis Impact created an immersive learning experience for client-facing managers and leaders.The training provided applied skills to develop genuinely strategic and meaningful relationships with customers and new prospects.
The success of the programme in the UK saw the training rolled out to include leaders from key markets internationally.
“This is the best training I have ever received. The client had rejected meetings over and over again. Using this new approach we quickly understood their needs and within a week we won a new £5m mandate!”
“I learned that – it is amazing how candid people will be if you ask them the “right question”…..and that the tools we explored a few weeks ago can work in almost any situation.”

Building strategy buy-inProfessional Services“The science that sits behind the methodology is amazing - it’s the best new approach in my career.” “Truly one of the best programs and facilitators I have seen. The last few months have changed the way I personally tackle things. It's been awesome.”Global professional services firm ensures ownership of a radical new culture change strategy - in the middle of a pandemic.
Contexis was charged with ensuring the strategy was not just understood but owned by the entire international workforce. In these exceptional circumstances, a traditional ‘launch’ process would never work.To succeed, everyone (working from home) had to take personal ownership and responsibility for change. This required a shift from a culture of hierarchy to one of autonomy and self- responsibility. Plus a new spirit of trust, cohesiveness and inclusivity.
The first step was for everyone to understand and fully engage with purpose – and how this created context and meaning for the new strategy. That bridged the physical and social distance between teams and leaders.
To live the change, every part of the firm needed to learn and embed the skills and confidence to put it into practice every day.
6,000 people living the change started with 120 senior and mid managers in a programme of teams-based workshops, discussions and self-learning lasting six months. This group formed a core of leaders who shared the programme with the next cohort of 1200 colleagues – with the support of in-house facilitators and moderators trained and supported by Contexis – and ultimately to all 6000 people globally.
