Alto-Shaam Wins Brandon Hall Group™ Bronze Award for Best Leadership Development Program

Alto-Shaam wins Brandon Hall Bronze for its innovative yearlong leadership development program, “Leadership Lab: Innovation Through Collaboration.”

Alto-Shaam has been recognized with a Brandon Hall Group™ Bronze award for excellence in the Best Leadership Development Program category. 

The awards celebrate best practice across learning and development, talent management, leadership development, talent acquisition, human resources, diversity, equity and inclusion, and more across industries.  

Alto-Shaam’s award-winning submission, Leadership Lab: Innovation Through Collaboration, was developed in partnership with Palmer Quade Consulting LLC, and featured a 12-month cross-functional cohort program to enhance leadership skills, strengthen peer relationships and deepen understanding of the company’s operational dynamics. 

The program’s signature Innovation Capstone Project, that included integrated workshops, executive mentoring, one-on-one coaching and peer learning circles, produced eight high-impact projects presented to Alto-Shaam's senior leadership that centered on product concepts and transformative process improvements to drive further efficiencies and enhancements for the business. 

“The innovative capstone projects weren’t just for show,” says Steve Maahs, Alto-Shaam CEO. “Rooted in our core values, these projects all focused in on delivering real and tangible benefits across the business, and I’m excited to see them come to life. As a multi-generational business, our Alto-Shaam family means everything, and we are committed to providing opportunities for continuous growth, learning and development.”
