Build your strategic leadership culture program delivery and modality
Our Build Your Strategic Leadership Culture workshop spans across six months, engaging cohorts of up to 12 participants. The program consists of six modules delivered across eight days of workshops and six days of team coaching. The structure includes a two-day residential workshop, eight half-day remote workshops, and a two-day residential finale workshop. Each module is followed by a 1.5-hour team coaching session to provide ongoing support and guidance.
The workshops serve as catalysts for learning, collaboration, and skill development. Through interactive activities, discussions, and exercises, participants delve into the principles and practices of collaborative problem-solving and cultural transformation.
The ongoing coaching reinforces learning and implementation, with our experienced coaches providing guidance, feedback, and personalised support to ensure the application of new skills and sustained behavioural change.
Our programs are designed for cohorts of up to 12 participants, fostering a supportive and collaborative learning environment. Participants benefit from shared experiences, peer feedback, and the opportunity to build a network of like-minded professionals who can continue to support one another beyond the program.
The program is highly adaptable and can be tailored to the specific needs and challenges of your organisation. We understand that every organisation is unique, and our approach allows us to customise the content, exercises, and coaching to align with your culture, values, and desired outcomes. Additionally, we can run multiple cohorts in parallel to scale the program across larger teams within your organisation.

We are committed to providing a transformative and enjoyable journey for participants, empowering them to drive cultural change and achieve remarkable outcomes.
What made us create this program?
- Nearly 40% of CEOs recognise that their company will not be economically viable in 10 years’ time if it continues on its current course, a pattern which is consistent across all sectors. – PwC’s ‘Annual CEO Survey 2023′.
- Only 23% of organisations believe leaders in their business are well equipped to lead effectively in a disrupted world. – Deloitte’s ‘Human Capital Trends 2023‘.
- Deloitte’s study also found a new type of leader is required to succeed in a disrupted and boundaryless world, involving distributed leadership, co-creating value, adopting a growth mindset, and incorporating societal outcomes.
- Analysis of 1.4 million employee reviews on Glassdoor indicates that strong leadership and employees feeling respected are crucial elements in shaping positive perceptions of corporate culture. – MIT’s Sloan Management Review.
- 44% of Gen Z and 43% of Millennials say they have recently left a workplace because of burnout. – Deloitte’s ‘Global Gen Z and Millennials Survey 2022’.
- Toxic culture drives poor mental and physical health, disengagement, bad mouthing, and attrition; toxic corporate culture is ten times more likely to predict attrition than the average predictive factor. MIT’s Sloan Management Review.
We recognised the growing importance of developing a strong and effective senior leadership culture, the impact of respect and well-being on culture, and the negative consequences of a toxic leadership culture. We saw Heads of People and Culture, HR Directors, Heads of Learning and Development, CEOs, COOs, and other senior leaders struggling to embed positive leadership cultures in their organisations.
So we designed this transformative training intervention to embed a purpose-driven culture that fosters strategic collaboration and collective intelligence across your leadership team, and empowers leaders to become compelling role models and create a culture that inspires innovation and motivates productivity in their teams.
These are some of the challenges facing business leaders in a VUCA world, which this workshop helps you to overcome:
Fearful Culture
Fearfulness plays a large part in stopping teams from coping with rapid change, reducing productivity, and limiting innovative solutions.
Retention
Overcoming the revolving door syndrome by creating an environment that retains top talent and fosters loyalty.
VUCA Environments
Navigating the challenges of the volatile, uncertain, chaotic, and ambiguous world to build resilience and adaptability.
Lack of Collaboration
Overcoming silos and enhancing cross-functional collaboration to drive collective success.
Disengagement
Tackling the lack of enthusiasm and commitment that hinders collaboration and stifles innovation.
Reduced Productivity
Addressing the productivity gaps caused by misalignment, lack of purpose, and ineffective collaboration.
Accidental or Undefined Culture
Uncovering and shaping the hidden culture that influences behaviours and impacts performance.
Case Study on Building Strategic Leadership
Their situation
A large national retailer was looking to consolidate their post-pandemic position after going through a turbulent period and closing parts of their business down. Some very experienced leaders had now left, leaving an inexperienced senior leadership team.
The company was seeking growth from a smaller team, and expected it to be easier to rally support for their renewed drive. Instead of being able to create change, they experienced push-back and a distinct lack of trust in the remaining leadership team.
The new HR Director was also less experienced, having taken the vacant position by stepping up from their HR Assistant role, but they recognised the signs of a disconnect between leaders and the wider organisation, and a skills gap in the leadership team.
Our solution
We build a program to provide leaders with the necessary tools, support, and guidance to learn key leadership skills, including how to be a leader that people want to follow, understanding the tools of transformational leadership, recognising leadership styles, and exploring leadership beyond management, bridging the gaps the HR Director saw.
The result
After this program, the senior leadership team had a renewed belief in their own abilities, and used their new knowledge to close the divide between the leaders and their teams, creating followers that rallied around the new strategy, with renewed trust in leadership.
The program gave their team a shared framework to solve complex problems, with a shared set of tools and vocabulary, and brought the leadership team closer, with a more cohesive approach to leading with unity, improving morale, retention, and sales results.
