Prepare Your Leaders for an Uncertain Future

We are delighted to have secured Ade McCormack to deliver a New Senior Leadership Programme, Leading In Times of Disruption. It is exclusive to ICBE and delivered in-company only.

This programme will enable your Senior leaders to develop an organisation capable of operating in increasingly chaotic circumstances.

Programme Overview

Geopolitics and technology are only two of the forces that are making the world increasingly uncertain. The traditional process-centric model, which has served organisations well for several centuries, is no longer ‘fit for purpose’. We need a radically different approach. But one that does not threaten existing cashflows or unnerve staff.

However, there is a way forward. This transformative programme advocates an intelligent approach, which in essence draws from living systems – highly evolved systems optimised for survival:

• Acute sense of their environment
• Probabilistic rather than deterministic – embracing adaptability
• Real-time response – acting without delay

Core Focus Areas

• Disruption – What is driving the need to develop intelligent organisations.
• Organisational design – A real-time, adaptive approach.
• Talent management – Harnessing our humanity.
• Technology – Augmenting our cognition.
• Leadership – The organisational nervous system.
• Purpose – A buffer against uncertainty.

Key Benefits for Leaders

✔ Be able to harness the full potential of your people, technology (including AI) and data.

✔ Be able to orchestrate this organisational evolution without spending a fortune on transformation.

Counterintuitively, perhaps, your people will welcome this and so you’re existing cashflows will not be put at further risk.

Programme Format

Flexible delivery options to suit your organisation:

In-Person – 1-day immersive workshop

Online - 6 x 1-hour interactive sessions

Fully tuneable to your organisation’s needs
