The programme  

‘Live-Online Developing Strategic Leaders’ takes inspiration from our residential Developing Leaders Programme. It offers a unique online experience which prepares you to deal with the uncertainty, fear and isolation that accompanies complex challenges. 

Held over three days, with a part two four or five months later, the programme offers a safe space in which individuals, tasked with shaping the future of their organisation, can unpack who they are as a leader.

Participants create the agenda by discussing and exploring their current leadership challenges, in confidence, with fellow attendees. Themes discussed might include:

• leading remotely                      
• facilitating and implementing change                            
• facing the new normal                         
• strategic vs operational leadership
• preparing for your next senior role              
• tackling imposter syndrome                      
• resilience and wellbeing 

The programme is chaired by a senior leader who will lead the group through plenary discussions and host guest speaker sessions, which include very honest reflections and insights from senior leaders, in a range of diverse sectors. Our experienced facilitators lead smaller breakout ‘syndicate’ groups to allow participants to discuss individual leadership challenges at a personal level, as well as review topics and themes in the safety of their syndicates.

About Live-Online

The programme is delivered ‘live’ via Zoom so participants can interact with each other, the Chair, facilitators and speakers as they would in-person. More details about what you can expect from our Live-Online Programmes can be found here.

Who is it suitable for?  

This programme is ideal for established senior leaders looking to develop their strategic capability.  With a focus on facilitated learning in a peer-to-peer environment, we welcome participants from across all the sectors, including public, corporate, education, faith, military and not-for-profit. This exposure to different leadership experiences and perspectives enhances the quality of debate and stimulates more diverse thinking.
