Jombay > Building Future-Ready Talent at Jindal Shadeed

“77% of organizations report a leadership gap - meaning they struggle to develop a sufficient pipeline of leaders.”

Jindal Shadeed, a leading steel manufacturing company in Oman, knew it couldn't afford to be part of that statistic. To strengthen their talent pipeline and make confident role-readiness decisions, they partnered with Jombay to implement a robust talent assessment and development initiative across three key levels of leadership.

Here’s what we did:

> Focused the initiative on Jindal Shadeed’s core competencies – Strategic Thinking, Customer First, Operations Excellence, Result Orientation, Effective Relationship & Networking, and Steer Change, formed the foundation of both assessment and development.

> Enabled succession planning with a Growth Centre across three leadership levels – Participants, based on their leadership levels, were assessed using tailored tools (personality, behavioral, cognitive, and perception-based) to identify high-potential talent and support succession decisions.

> Followed up with a journey-based development program – A mix of digital learning, ILTs, VILTs, Group Connects, peer learning forums, and nudges on WhatsApp ensured a clear development roadmap was supported with continuous engagement and on-the-job application.

> Measured impact through pre & post feedback – Surveys completed by participants and their managers helped evaluate progress and experience across the development journey.

The result?

Through this dual intervention, Jindal Shadeed was able to strengthen its succession pipeline, empower future-ready leaders across levels, and create a culture of continuous development. The initiative received a strong NPS of 9, reflecting its value across both the assessments and development journey.
