Leadership Solution

The vagaries of the macroenvironment require a new kind of leader and leadership capabilities. Organizations need leaders who can identify potential threats to organizational survival and respond proactively towards change. Also, such leaders must possess the competence and character to drive changes throughout the organization. We provide leadership solution through the following products and services:

Leadership Analytics

It has become a cliché that what gets measured gets done. This statement applies directly to leadership and organizational efforts. Organizations must identify metrics, set specific boundaries, and measure progress in terms of project objectives, budgets, and deadlines. As a leader, the metrics you choose and use will determine the viability of your organization. Leaders have a responsibility to make objective and accurate decisions for their organizations. Increasingly, decision-making has become challenging for today’s organizational leaders because of “the quickening pace of decision making, increased business complexity, and a deluge of Big Data” (Bartlett, 2013, p. 6). The leadership analytics course was designed to introduce participants to the benefits and methods of measurement in every type of organization. At the end of this course, participants will be able to interpret data sets, make data-driven decisions, and improve systematic reasoning, risk-management, and profits.

Leadership Development and Succession Planning

Organizations have always struggled to maintain the right size and quality of employees. Experts have attributed this challenge to many reasons, which include employee retirements, deaths, attrition, poor recruitment and selection, and other ethical issues. These reasons pose significant risks and threaten organizational competitiveness and stability. One way to mitigate instability caused by a limited pool of the right size and right quality of employees is succession planning and management (SP&M). Thus, leadership development and succession planning ensure a robust supply of talent pool, facilitates organizational continuity and stability, and improves the operational effectiveness of organizations both in the present and the future.

This course is highly recommended for CEOs, Owner managers, human resource directors, mid-senior managers with significant responsibilities, and high-potential leaders stepping into management positions.

Leading Innovation and Strategy

What do companies such as Kodak, Xerox, Blockbuster, Polaroid, and Blackberry Motion have in common? They failed to innovate in times of rapid changes in their industries. Consequently, the corporations lost their market niches, which eventually led to their demise.

The need for innovation and strategy has become even more rife in today’s rapidly changing market driven by social, technological, economic, environmental, and political forces. The situation challenges CEOs and the C-suite executives to lead innovation and strategic processes that would create a constant source of new products and services, increase growth, and position the corporation for competitive advantage. So, innovation intelligence is the recipe for sustainability and success in the postmodern world characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity.

The Innovation and Strategy module helps senior executive leaders lead and manage successful innovation and strategies in their organizations. With a broad perspective about innovation, this module will empower senior executives with the current information, concepts, and practical knowledge and cognitive ability required for driving long term growth and sustainability. The intended learning objectives have been structured to meet the needs of the senior executive leader.

The module format is face-to-face classroom learning, conferences, leadership roundtables, and faculty consultation. Although the module adopts a highly practical approach, the contents have a sound theoretical research framework. Furthermore, the module includes the use of action research to solve organizational problems.

Leadership Communication

HealthCare Leadership

We specialize in scalable healthcare leadership programs that create cohesive, high-performing teams. To be one of the nation’s top healthcare organization means delivering high-quality, cost-efficient care. Yet, realizing that objective is becoming increasingly difficult under traditional leadership models—even for the most organized and experience teams. Why? Too often, talented clinicians and healthcare professionals are limited by dated strategic models, communication barriers, and organizational silos. We help you shift toward a more collaborative model, one that brings top talent and senior leadership together to find creative solutions to today’s most complex challenges. We help you build healthcare leadership teams that get results.

Organizational Change Leadership

Through the years, many organizations and their consultants have focused on change management without sufficient attention to organizational change leadership. While change management focuses on the structure, systems, processes, and operational aspects of an organization, change leadership emphasizes the people part that results in long term sustainability and transformation. However, given today’s dynamic business environment, organizations need change leadership, along with change management to gain the desired results for real organizational transformation.

Executive Coaching Services

Research has demonstrated that executive coaching is an effective method of leadership development. A study conducted by Kombarakaran and colleagues in 2008 indicated that executives who received formal coaching experienced positive outcomes in 5 areas: people management, relationships with managers, goal setting and prioritization, engagement and productivity, and dialogue and communication. This study also highlights the importance of coach selection, executive commitment to behavioral change, and the role of good program and environmental support. The success of this coaching program also suggests that investment in well-designed and implemented programs can contribute to leadership development and the retention of talent.
