Programmes
Two programmes for leaders at the point where their job changes: a new seat at the top, or a business rethinking itself around AI.
Elevating Human Capital
A six-month coaching programme that helps senior leaders settle into a new role, and helps organisations choose the right leader in the first place.
- Who it’s for
- CXOs and CXO-1 leaders, and the HR teams hiring them
- Duration
- The leader’s first six months in role
- Format
- One-to-one coaching, behavioural assessment and stakeholder sessions
- Investment
- [Price on request]
What the programme covers
Three parts that work on their own or together, from the hiring decision to the leader’s first results.
Executive search and placement
Behavioural event interviews for CXO and CXO-1 candidates. We test leadership competencies, not domain knowledge, so your shortlist reflects how people will actually lead.
Empowering the C-suite
- Build awareness of the behaviours that help and hurt the team
- Grow the strengths behind superior performance
- Expose blind spots before they turn into conflict
- Widen the leader’s 360-degree view to break down complex issues
Organisational synergy
Coaching for managers of managers. When senior managers lead other leaders well, strategy moves through the organisation instead of stalling between layers.
How the six months run
Coaching starts when the leader takes up the role and follows four stages.
-
1
Immerse and assimilate
Understand what the business expects of the leader, and set the right expectations in return.
-
2
Build the 30-60-90 plan
Learn the stakeholders, the team and the culture before rolling out a vision.
-
3
Agree the what and the how
Everyone knows the leader’s KRAs. The detail is in how they’ll deliver them, and a style that clashes with the culture breeds cynicism.
-
4
Hand over
Once the leader is assimilated into the business, our team steps out.
The leader who was parachuted in
Teams can read an outside hire as someone dropped in from above. We help the leader listen first and show they understand the business before they change it.
The colleague who was passed over
Peers and direct reports who hoped for the role may now report to the new leader. Coaching helps the leader address this openly and win them over.
AI Leadership Programme
Practical AI leadership in two tracks: one for the people setting direction, one for the people making it work day to day.
- Who it’s for
- CXOs, business heads and board members
- Duration
- 12 weeks
- Format
- Six half-day sessions, in person or live online, plus three one-to-one coaching sessions
- You leave with
- A board-ready AI roadmap and governance outline
- Module 1
AI in plain terms
What today’s AI can and can’t do, where it’s heading, and how to tell real capability from hype.
- Module 2
Where AI changes your business
Map value across products, operations and customers, then choose the few bets that matter.
- Module 3
Governance, risk and ethics
Set the guardrails: data privacy, bias, accountability and the regulation your sector faces.
- Module 4
Building the AI-ready organisation
Workforce planning, reskilling and the culture shifts that decide whether adoption sticks.
- Module 5
Investing with discipline
Build, buy or partner; budget for pilots; measure return beyond cost savings.
- Module 6
Your AI roadmap
Present a 12-month roadmap to peers and a panel, then refine it in one-to-one coaching.
- Who it’s for
- Team leads and mid-level managers
- Duration
- 8 weeks
- Format
- Six hands-on workshops, in person or live online, plus a team pilot project
- You leave with
- A working AI use case and a playbook for your team
- Module 1
AI fluency, hands on
Use generative AI tools on real work: drafting, analysis, summarising and research.
- Module 2
Rethinking how your team works
Map your team’s workflows and decide which tasks AI should take on, assist with, or leave alone.
- Module 3
Judgement and quality
Write clear prompts, check outputs, and know when a person must make the call.
- Module 4
Leading people through change
Handle worries about roles and skills honestly, and help each person find their place.
- Module 5
Responsible use, day to day
Data handling, confidentiality and bias, in practical rules your team can follow.
- Module 6
Team pilot
Run one AI use case in your team for four weeks and report back on what changed.
Both tracks include
- An AI readiness check at the start, so sessions meet you where you are
- Case work drawn from your own organisation, not generic examples
- A peer cohort to test ideas with between sessions
Run them together
When executives and managers go through in parallel, both groups work on the same use cases, so strategy and delivery meet in the middle.
