Talent & leadership development
Our approach
Commercial acumen and business strategy - 6 month learning experience
The programme was launched with a virtual classroom, followed by two face-to-face four-day modules six months apart, supported by both strategic and personal experiments.
Circular economy and innovation
Between the face-to-face sessions, participants worked together on their experiments - we sent content helpful to their chosen area and they connected beyond the constraints of the organisation with leading experts in the arena of the circular economy and innovation.
Personal experiments
A series of short provocations by experts explored some of the rapid changes happening in the world such as the rise of AI and Age of Acceleration.
International leadership examples
We divided participants into three tutor groups and all three chose to focus on plastic in the supply chain but each from a different perspective. A visit to Adidas in Seoul, South Korea provided a different outlook to leadership and approach to sustainability.

Our insights
With increasing pressure for consumer goods companies to address their impact on the environment, this created both a challenge and an opportunity for the company to reimagine its business model and create a development programme linking strategy and leadership development.
“In 2019 we were delighted to be a finalist with our longstanding client, at the CIPD People Management Awards. We are very proud of the work we did on putting the Circular Economy at the heart of an innovative and socially impactful leadership development programme.”
