The word 'Transformation is on the lips of every executive leadership team, whether it be driven by evolving market forces, emergence of new technologies or geopolitics. To effectively lead and deliver on a Transformation strategy, you must win hears and minds over to new ways of thinking and working, even if they seem hard to reach today. 

In this Leadership Lab, you will explore the Five Mindsets for Transformation needed to drive meaningful change. You will assess your innate thinking preferences and consider how these impact your own approach to leading transformation. You will explore techniques that help decode how your teams are wired and where they might need support to best enable meaningful change to occur. We will then apply our Framework for Leadership Interoperability to capture potential area where you can increase transformational capacity within your organisation. 

You will use experiential techniques to identify the degrees of stretch needed to move yourself, your team and your stakeholders forward. You will start to plan how to embed this into your existing workstreams. This will be an energising and interactive session that will give you some tangible outputs you can use immediately.
