Microsoft: Breaking Silos to Drive Revenue Growth
When Microsoft aimed to accelerate revenue growth within a key business unit, the path forward was clear: braver conversations and stronger collaboration. To succeed, leaders needed to foster increased trust, break down silos and build deeper, more meaningful relationships—with clients, resellers, and each other.
-
Despite a strong culture of learning and a dedication to leadership development, Microsoft faced organisational silos that hindered collaboration and communication. Leaders needed the skills to have courageous conversations—internally and externally—to align goals, resolve conflicts and build trust. This was critical for:
Strengthening relationships with clients and resellers.
Enhancing collaboration across teams and with Corporate.
Driving alignment and accountability to achieve ambitious revenue targets.
-
To meet these objectives, we designed a tailored virtual programme focused on breaking silos and building braver leaders. The programme included:
Core Development Modules on Brave Conversations, Empathy, Trust-Building and Collaboration Strategies.
Manager and Individual Contributor Group Coaching to address real-time challenges and foster alignment.
Accountability Follow-Up Sessions to ensure ongoing application and measurable impact.
This programme was seamlessly integrated into Microsoft’s existing leadership initiatives, reinforcing their culture of continuous learning while equipping leaders with actionable tools to achieve their goals.

Microsoft’s leaders emerged with the confidence and skills to drive meaningful change and revenue growth:
Silos began to break down as trust and collaboration improved across teams.
Leaders initiated more courageous, impactful conversations with clients, resellers and Corporate, leading to stronger relationships and greater alignment.
Observable shifts in behaviour fostered a more cohesive, engaged, and innovative leadership team.
