Leadership: Go on an Aperture™ Journey

perspective of leadership.
​
The modules can be taken separately or together and run at three levels of depth:
-
Executive overview
-
Masterclasses with coaching
-
Workplace integration including interludes, coaching and certification*
​
*Certification is a year long process done through Institute of Leadership in UK.

Future-fit leadership, built off proven frameworks. We’ll use assessments to better understand personality and work gearing.

3. Strategy and Execution

3. Experience an Interlude™
Experience Innovation and Apply Change
Some things are best experienced, rather than read or spoken about.
​
Interludes™ are bespoke immersions that focus on well-being, collaboration and innovation. They may include a customer or ESG lens. From "bucket-list" experiences to mindful strategic reviews and team integration breakaways, these unique business experiences feature executive coaching, deep conversation with executive peers and strategic networking.
​
Staying within the boundaries of our office or home will not expose us to innovation in other industries, or fresh perspectives. With "always-on" access, most people problem-solve without accessing diverse networks or pioneering case studies. Digital learning also comes with an "online penalty" of increased "back-to-back" scheduling, prolonged working hours and a need to respond to messages instantly.
​
Allowing real-time exposure to pioneering people, places and products, along with networking and strategic reflection has a strong business case. These "concrete experiences" improve engagement, trust, problem-solving and personal mastery. Alternatives might be cheaper, but consume more time and are not perceived as rewarding by employees. Investing in off-site business experiences pays its own dividends.
​
Local or International: Multi-site Immersions take you to where global pioneers are ahead of the curve, living the future now. Connecting with them in person challenges us to re-shape our own environment and builds networks of substantial depth. We heartily recommend Interludes™ in Rwanda, Mauritius, Singapore, Japan and Dubai, but will find unique learning through our partners, from Cape Town to California.
