Our approach to our work is founded on three core ideas.
1.The environment that leaders are currently operating in is increasingly complex and unpredictable. |
2.The skills needed to exercise effective leadership have changed. |
3.The way we develop leadership and culture needs to change. |
"In response to an increasingly complex and unpredictable environment, the skills, capabilities and mindsets a leader needs to deliver organisational success have changed".

Development based on evidence rather than anecdotes.
We would like to make a contribution to changing the way leadership is developed. We understand this is a lofty ambition, but it is an ambition we feel is worth pursuing. |
Leadership and leadership development is a huge industry that can sometimes value anecdotes more than evidence. In our own small way we would like to change this by making research a part of everything we do. We feel this is especially important in the emerging field of developing leaders for success in complexity.
