Discover how a leading UK insurer broke away from 'business-as-usual' by partnering with Bowline to drive a culture-first transformation–one that redefined leadership, boosted performance, and embedded a more human, high impact approach across the business.
Working hand-in-hand with employees and an ambitious new CEO, the Bowline team co-created a new vision, values and behaviours. From there, the focus shifted to leadershipprogrammes, designed to build high-performing, self-aware teams. The transformation even extended outwards to marketing, refreshing the brand story and online campaigns. A truly inside-out approach.
The results speak volumes: sales have more than doubled, while employee engagement and pride in this historic brand is stronger than ever. The outcome is a motivated, aligned, and high-performing organisation ready for the future. It sounds impressive, but for this team it's only the beginning.
