Scaling leaders 3x faster at Atos
The Challenge
Atos is a global IT service provider with ambitious growth plans. But rapid, organic growth requires leaders who are not only capable but also ready to take ownership in a complex, international environment.
At the same time, Atos aims to attract and retain top talent — which demands a deep investment in leadership culture, mindset, and behavior.
The Solution
To achieve these strategic leadership goals, Atos developed the FUEL program:
-
A hybrid leadership program with live sessions, webinars, and self-reflection assignments
-
Integration of FranklinCovey’s content, including Leading at the Speed of Trust and 6 Critical Practices for Leading a Team
-
A global leadership network, with participants from the US, India, Romania, Mexico, and the Netherlands
-
A 360° leadership assessment before and after the program, to make behavior change measurable
-
Self-reflection as a starting point: participants actively define their growth path within Atos
-
A focus on scalable behavior change, not just one-off training sessions
The Results
75% faster leadership readiness
The time it takes for leaders to be ready for the next step decreased from 2–3 years to just 7 months.
96% of participants report accelerated career growth
With nearly one-third earning a promotion within two years.
94% leadership talent retention
FUEL participants remain significantly longer at Atos. Their risk of leaving is 60% lower than the organizational average.
From local to global collaboration
The program strengthens international cooperation, breaks down silos, and speeds up decision-making across borders.
