Leadership Development:

The design, delivery and support of a long-term People Leader Program, targeted to all leaders, including executive and emerging People Leaders. This program is modular in format, with each module requiring 6-months of activity, including group workshops, group coaching, action learning projects and formal assessment. These modules are:

  • People Leader Foundations (emotional intelligence and personal productivity).

  • People Leader Growth (feedback and coaching).

  • Managing Teams (group dynamics/PRISM profile and facilitation for shared voice).

  • Managing Teams Through Change (storytelling and a framework for change).

  • Courageous Conversations (structuring and holding the conversation, including planned and on the run).

Strategy & Culture:

  • Design and facilitation of a variety of strategy workshops, i.e., annual strategic planning, sustainability and the team charter for the new executive team.

  • Stakeholder interviews to explore group ownership/buy-in of the organisational strategy.

  • Working on the organisational strategy, both messaging and content, i.e., purpose, vision, mission, values and strategic priorities.

Key Deliverables
