The impact of the Program on the organization
The Leadership Program has had a significant impact on organizational objectives and team development.
An example of this is the evaluation of the level of maturity of the Asset Management Project, which increased 0.19 points (3.06 in 2021 vs 3.25 in 2022). This demonstrates the impact of the program on the development, knowledge and leadership skills of GEB's human capital.
GEB uses the maturity scale and audit tool 'SAM+' (Self-Assessment Methodology) from the Institute of Asset Management (IAM) to assess this impact. The tool allows leaders to assess costs, risks and performance, implement best practices in collaborative work and strengthen their leadership skills.
Innovation Facilitators Program
The Innovation Facilitators Program seeks to develop an interdisciplinary team of employees to act as innovation leaders and mobilizers in GEB and each of its subsidiaries, in order to promote an innovative organizational culture, boost the innovation capacity of the organization and structure projects to help face the challenges in matters such as energy transition, decarbonization and digitalization.
The Innovation Facilitators Program is made up of 40 employee. These employees receive training in topics such as leadership, creativity, empowerment and project management.

The impact of the Program on the organization:
The Innovation Facilitators Program has had a positive impact on the organization's cultural transformation.
This impact is reflected in the fulfillment of the target set for the Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI), applied in 2022. The 2022 target was met, presenting a growth of 1.49 points in comparison to the last measurement in the component regarding Collective Contribution.
The result demonstrates a more dynamic organization that is willing to take risks to innovate and consciously learn to achieve company and team goals. It also reflects an organization with innovative leaders who are open to change and who recognize new initiatives and hold the ability to evolve towards products and services that contribute to the development of the society.
