Executive Development Programs

EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS

Power must be handled by those who are prepared for it. Prepared to carry the weight of responsibility and consequences, prepared for the politics, prepared for the flattery and perception management. All the while, keeping a cool head and honest counsel, inspiring the respect and loyalty of others, and leading with decisions and actions that protect and build the organization.

Our Executive Development Programs grow executive strengths and unlock career advancement. Our executive development programs are for senior leaders and their prospective successors. Expect executive development that is practical, strategic, and built for real-world power and influence.

PREPARE SUCCESSORS

Failure to prepare a strong leadership pipeline undermines growth plans and shareholder confidence. Common signs are delays to role handovers, doubts about successor readiness, delayed plans for senior executives to step back or retire, departures of top performers, and high burnout in top management roles.

OVERCOME CRISIS

Under-development of the right leadership capabilities results in internal and external crises, impacting reputation, confidence and trust in your organization. Common signs are PR crisis, stalling share price, delay or failure of critical projects, and corporate actions that don't track to stated values and priorities.

HOW OUR PROGRAMS ARE DIFFERENT

Evolution not Education
‍Our programs tackle current and emerging topics that impact global executive leadership. Topics are deconstructed into the knowledge, skills and "operating system" leaders require to capitalize on them. Using our expertise in psychology and behavior change - and specialism in the corporate context - we proactively assist executives in building the mindset, approaches, and habits to drive transformation and growth at their organization. Research-based, practical frameworks are provided in Masterclasses and Seminars. Executives receive 1:1 follow-up after group formats to customize personalized strategies.

Deep Expertise in Executive Capabilities
We specialize in benchmarking, assessing, and building the non-technical capabilities required for maximum effectiveness in executive leadership at large organizations. We deliver unparalleled results through our powerful assessment, stakeholder engagement, career management expertise, and skill in developing transformational leadership capabilities.

Guaranteed Results
Executive development programs do not offer money-back guarantees because they cannot guarantee results. We can. We deliver an action-oriented curriculum to track success against leadership goals. Hyper-personalized strategies ensure executives effectively navigate the context and situation they face. Holistic, integrated programming caters to different learning and development preferences, with the option to blend in-person and remote components and to customize content to different regional and functional focuses.

Self-Benchmarking for Executives
‍‍Clear insight for individual leaders on how they benchmark against internal leadership populations, the ogrnaization's Leadership Capability Model and culture, and global leadership generally. Understanding of comparative strengths and opportunities informs better investment of development effort, and more powerful strategies to drive executive impact and career advancement.

Global, External Perspective
After a decade, countless projects, and thousands of honest conversations with executive leaders across the globe, we’ve learned to see what’s coming before it arrives. We know the trends, and more importantly, we know the kind of leadership strengths it takes to turn them into opportunities. We identify the right strategy fast, helping executives sharpen their strengths and bring stakeholders to the table - from the frontline to the C-Suite, from one nation to the next.

featured case study

Multi-year global leadership program for fortune500

The Fortune500 consumer packaged goods company wanted to launch its own women's leadership program. The company was dedicated to equality of opportunity but had a comparatively low number of women in senior leadership positions. Management faced increasing scrutiny about its commitment to gender equality. Seeing a potential crisis on the horizon, management made investment in women leadership a key priority.

"I was inspired by the deep self-awareness, the coaching and networking, and most of all by the supportive community of women this program established."
