Adaptive Leadership Programme
To thrive in a complex and fast-changing environment, many organisations transform to become more adaptive in how they operate and build a culture that attracts a diverse pool of talent.
As a leader, you play an essential role in the transformation and in leading an adaptive organisation. You need to be capable of
- leading in increasingly complex and dynamic environments
- supporting organisational agility and adaptability
- driving change and navigating challenges
- supporting the shift to new ways of working
- addressing the needs of a diverse workforce in a hybrid environment.
The Adaptive Leadership Programme helps you “uplift” your leadership to become a more effective leader in your current role and prepares you for success in an adaptive organisation.
We recommend this programme if you want to
- Reflect and challenge your leadership
- Expand your leadership toolset and put what you have learned straight into practice
- Learn from real-world examples and apply insights to your situation
- Adopt the behaviours and mindset necessary to become a more effective leader
- Learn to be vulnerable in a safe setting that reinforces mutual learning
- Tackle your leadership challenges by getting practical advice and consulting
- Make progress throughout the programme by setting individual development goals.

Learning Labs
The learning labs are 90 min virtual sessions scheduled after Workshop 1 and 2. Each participant is assigned to a learning lab group of five. The small groups provide a safe space for deep diving and sharing of experience. Participants share progress on their development goals and what they have learned from the transfer assignments. They are also encouraged to bring their leadership challenges and receive practical advice and consulting from their peers.
Transfer assignments
Transfer assignments are activities that participants do between workshops to apply tools and concepts in their leadership practice. The time investment is 3-4 hrs throughout the programme.
- People leaders
- Programme and project leaders
- Tribe, squad, and chapter leads
- Impact leaders (key people who are influential within the organisation)
We recommend you have at least 1-2 years’ leadership experience and work in a role in which you impact people/team performance or organisational culture.
The programme is limited to 15 participants to provide a safe, engaging and impactful learning experience.
