Complementing our strategy consulting work, we design and teach executive programs that develop the key competencies needed for effective strategy generation and execution. Basically, we believe that to drive any business forward, you have to have the right people sitting around the table developing strategy and guiding the execution of it. An organization can craft the most powerful vision, or build the perfect strategic plan, but without the talent to implement these initiatives, it all dissolves to mere words on a page.
Leadership Development Program Design
Whether you are building a leadership development program from the ground up, or refreshing your existing platform to respond to current business needs, our learning and development experts can assist you in developing high-impact, engaging, multi-modal programs to build talent within your organization.
We specialize in building leadership development programs for high-potential employees (from manager levels through senior executives), however, we are glad to assist in the architecting of skill-based and/or onboarding programs as well. Regardless of the type of program we assist you in shaping, our approach will always be guided by the following principles:
Unique and Customized Solutions: We understand that every client has different needs and therefore, we don’t come in with a formula or pre-developed program structure. We pride ourselves on being excellent listeners and observers of organizational culture. Combining those skills with our ability to take industry best practice, the newest academic theories on learning science, and our accumulated knowledge, we meld all of it into a customized solution for your unique organization.
Actual Results: There are tons of training and development programs out there that at best entertain employees and at worst, bore the living daylights out of them, but most have almost no direct practical application back to the daily job functions of the participants. It is our mission to change that model through structuring programs that actually offer practical solutions and tools to employees to increase both their confidence in their ability to perform, but also provide a return on investment for the organization. (Yes, these results are measurable. And yes, we will help you convince you’re key stakeholders this is a worthwhile investment.)
Cost Reduction: In most cases the programs we assist in architecting actually result in less cost to the organization due to the unique, high-impact yet low frills nature with which we just naturally approach every business situation. As mentioned above, what you get are measurable business results, not fancy-schmancy, trendy, useless peripheral “stuff” that most other consultants bake into these programs.

P.S. We once heard a very smart person say (ok, so maybe Scott made this up, but it makes a lot of sense to us) that if you haven’t revamped your leadership development programs in the past 5 years, you’re not sufficiently addressing the needs of your organization.
Executive Education Workshops
So, admittedly, we’re all geeks, which means we all read, study, observe, and desire to learn way more than is socially acceptable, probably. While that may sound negative, it is immensely beneficial to our clients as we are consistently keeping ourselves abreast of the most current happenings in business, psychology, neuroscience, world affairs, economics, and pop culture. Basically, we channel this nerdy-ness into designing intellectually stretching development programs in the hippest business subjects.
The following programs have been designed to provide cutting-edge “off the shelf” curriculum for clients who need to supplement their current leadership development programs or offer a one-off workshop to a specific population of employees inside their organizations.
Each of these programs is lightly customized for our clients to ensure relevance to the industry, company, and organizational culture. For a slightly higher fee, we are able to hybrid two of these subjects into one comprehensive program to meet your needs.
