Our leadership programmes are designed to:
- Deliver hard business results. We
believe that leadership and management development programmes should
pay for themselves in measurable and tangible results for the organisation.
Our clients report this of our programmes.
- Produce a cultural
shift that is aligned with strategic intent. Our programmes
are specifically designed to help the CEO to deliver strategy, change
culture or implement a major change. While our programmes generate
profound learning outcomes, their principal focus is on results.
- Work at depth with leaders, not just on skills but on
their personal impact , presence, focus, motivation and confidence. We
do not just work at the skills level – because ultimately using
a skill depends considerably on the skill user.
- Focus
on application to working lives rather than just new knowledge. We
care little for how much information someone may retain, but rather
for changed behaviours.
We do this by:
- Identifying the capability gap that could impede
strategy implementation. Often our leadership programmes
follow our own work with the senior team to articulate and align
on strategy, or we are called in when the organisation has already
committed to a new strategic focus. Every programme is uniquely
designed to equip people to build this future together.
- Using ‘blended solutions’. Most
of our programmes are six to eighteen months long and involve coaching,
action learning teams, personal study and reflection, new practices
and reading between modules, to supplement time at off-site learning
events. Our programmes require participants to work on tough business
problems, and require effort from participants.
- Working with the whole person: that is,
emotions, purpose, the body and cognition. We believe that a sense
of personal purpose and mission, and a clear set of personal values
are what gives senior leaders power.
- Drawing on the best
leadership methodologies from around the globe. We use
groundbreaking models developed by leading thinkers in leadership
and management development, strategy, philosophy of language and
knowledge, and somatics.
- Effecting personal change and transformation. Participants
often say "this programme has altered my performance in ways
I could not have predicted“. We create greater self-awareness
and real choice about taking new actions. We provide a level of
personal challenge that most participants find refreshing and empowering.
- Effecting organisational change and transformation. We
do not only work at the level of the individual. Where team and
organisational issues need to be resolved to unlock the potential
of individuals in the organisation, our facilitators will address
these issues and shift the culture.
