“The leaders of Bendelta are everyone who works here,” says Mitchell. “Everyone at Bendelta is truly a leader and that is what has enabled our sustained high performance. This is not a platitude, it is how Bendelta is designed. Every person here knows that they have a leadership opportunity and responsibility, and that they have the licence to take whatever initiative might help make ‘a better Bendelta’ become a reality.”
Perhaps their most important current strategy is creating the infrastructure (in many different forms) to enable them to scale up while making work easier, not harder. This includes investing in systems, technology, and new leadership roles to boost efficiency and productivity. They’ve always had great people doing great work, but they are now making this much more supported and sustainable.
This may sound a little dull compared to the excitement of some of their other strategies, but it means that their people will get better outcomes from their effort, which makes that effort feel much more worthwhile.
Working with Bendelta, clients can expect that:
Everyone they deal with will be talented and incredibly dedicated
They will listen to understand
They will be solution-focused, emphasising what is best for the client
They will strive to deliver excellence
They won’t have to worry about any internal frictions or competition
