Developing collaborative leadership
Complex challenges requires a type of leadership that can mobilise and focus.
Case studies
Addressing complex challenges requires a type of leadership that can mobilise and focus action across a system of organisations and individuals, each with differing perspectives and competing priorities. Here, leadership is not a role; it is an activity. We design and deliver bespoke system leadership programmes for a wide range of organisations, partnerships and places, and for people at all levels, from local authority Chief Executives to ICS boards, civil society leaders to frontline staff, equipping people with the knowledge and skills they need to lead and mobilise for change across boundaries.
