Leadership Development Programs
We don’t rely on case studies and abstract lectures. Instead, our development experience integrates new methods for executing corporate strategies, transforming corporate culture, accelerating mergers and acquisitions, globalizing businesses, balancing risk, and improving competitive positioning.
We will work with you to design a program that is customized to fit your needs. We partner with the world’s leading faculty and with experts drawn from business schools, integrating the thought leadership and content into a customized, unified, and holistic approach to leadership that will reflect your organization’s strategic issues, values, and leadership requirements. The design phase will be conducted in close partnership with your staff and others tapped by your organization to participate. Sometimes we include groups of line executives in program design through a collaborative on-line design process.
After the program-design stage, we take responsibility for:
- Design, development, and production of materials
- Coordination of participant prework (including assessment)
- Program administration
Typically, we work with your internal personnel to coordinate all program matters, such as communication with program participants and on-site administration.
Then comes the prework phase. We gather data about the program participants, and the participants complete assessments and other prework activities dictated by the program design. This might include assigned readings, stakeholder interviews, or benchmarking. All information about the program during the prework phase is accessible via our Program Center, an online resource for participants. It is a proprietary learning platform that is the core of our high-tech/high-touch approach. Web-based technologies are used to maximize program effectiveness and promote lasting change.
After all prework is completed, the actual program delivery begins. Programs typically include action learning, action coaching, exercises, discussion of new ideas, networking, workshops, and team-building activities. Longer programs are delivered in two or three multi-day sessions, each separated by several months during which participants apply what they have learned.
When the last session ends, the post-experience phase begins. Faculty and participants work together to implement a plan based on the results of the program. This typically includes an action plan to improve leadership development and achieve specific business results. Follow-up activities can also include coaching, presentations to senior management, and meetings of program participants to assess the impact of their efforts and to share what they have learned.
