NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- James Rosseau, chief commercial officer of LegalShield, will share the company's key practices in behavioral transformation at the G100 Talent Consortium at the Andaz Fifth Avenue hotel on November 8. Rosseau will discuss the creation of LegalShield's "we are better together" mantra, the effect of what the company terms its "Movement Leaders" and how the application of Agile methodology to project management helped the company align strategy and achieve results. LegalShield is one of North America's leading providers of affordable legal plans and identity theft solutions for individuals, families and small businesses.
A 45-year old company, LegalShield undertook a cultural transition when it was acquired by private-equity firm MidOcean Partners a few years ago. CEO Jeff Bell, Rosseau and other members of the executive team have developed a vision of transformation focused on a specific set of behaviors responsible for creating superior business results through emphasis on candor, transparency, accountability, and extreme ownership.
LegalShield designated a group of employees as Movement Leaders, establishing a support network within the company. Consistently using this practice across teams increased engagement, productivity and communication, which come together to drive growth and momentum.
The company's shift from traditional project management to an Agile framework aimed to deliver high value and high-quality results. Adopting Agile principles throughout company processes, improvement in project management resulted in greater transparency and alignment.
"Deepening relationships across the company through habitual, personal engagement has revolutionized the way we do business at LegalShield," explained Rosseau. "Our 'we are better together' mentality is the foundation of successful growth. This vision parallels the influence of 'Movement Leaders', and the adoption of Agile practices established a 'we are all in this together' mindset across teams. These high-impact practices create a sense of power amongst employees, ultimately building sustainable growth."
The company has seen its membership rise monthly for the last 11 months. It now protects more than 1,693,700 individuals, families and businesses through its legal plans, and its IDShield identity-protection service has seen unprecedented growth, especially since the announcement several weeks ago of the Equifax credit-reporting data breach.
G100 Talent Consortium is a private group focused on the evolution of human resources and talent development. Its members include chief human resources officers and other senior leaders from a broad range of industries. Members gather every other year for discussions on strategic talent development, capability building, succession planning, coaching, and managing culture. Rosseau is available to meet with reporters in New York on November 8.
