The Purpose-Led Business Revolution
The world of business is facing its biggest shift since the industrial revolution.
Businesses need to navigate not just new technology, emerging consumer trends, environmental changes and political instability, but also a switch the purpose of the business itself – a purpose no longer serving just profit for shareholders, but a purpose that is beneficial for all stakeholders.
At a minimum, this means a big change for most businesses. It means total disruption for others.
We are the business transformation partner of choice for global organisations facing disruptive change. Our approach is people-centric, with an emphasis on leadership skills. We enable our clients to transform their business by developing leaders, empowering people and inspiring a lifelong-learning mindset.

Our sustainable business programmes are fully customised and focused on tangible business results. We partner with clients to diagnose challenges and co-create unique learning programmes, combining the foresight of some of the most influential FT journalists with the expertise of world-leading business school professors. We design to inspire people to lead and thrive.
The climate crisis has a direct impact on consumer behaviour and business trends. Our corporate programmes on sustainability are designed to help leaders understand and face these trends so they can seize opportunities and achieve growth.

ESG: Culture Shift or Passing Fad?
ESG issues have become increasingly prominent. Is this an authentic attempt to pivot away from purely profit-driven motives or is it all an elaborate display of the latest corporate fad?

Podcast: ESG and Corporate Scandals
Companies are not inherently "good" or "bad", but are rather defined by how they respond to the critical dilemmas in environmental, social and governance domains.

Cognitive diversity and business innovation
Being cognitively differentiated means that you can generate ideas, solve problems, assess in a variety of ways, and that is overall linked with better analysis, decision and execution.

Managing your Data
Data analytics have enabled businesses to identify hidden patterns in consumer behaviour and ultimately benefit from a deeper understanding of their market and customer needs.
However, access to data-rich ecosystems – combined with the pressure to deliver business results – often put executives and decision-makers into ethical dilemmas. Despite increased regulatory enforcement, data misuse is still a major issue and cause of distrust in business.
According to the European Data Protection Board, in the first 18 months from the launch of the GDPR, over 89,000 data breach notifications have been reported to national data protection authorities.
We can help businesses address key ethical dilemmas, focusing on what business leaders can do to ensure they are not falling in the most common pitfalls.
Managing your Brand
The game has changed for communications teams. With the rise of the ESG agenda, businesses are facing scrutiny in a whole new range of areas including diversity, supply chain and ethical data management.
With the rise of the name-and-shame culture on social media, businesses also need to be alert to user-generated content which can quickly spread with a serious impact to the company’s reputation.
Working with leading Financial Times journalists, we understand how corporate scandals can happen and – above all – how they can be avoided.
We help senior teams drive awareness about those risks. Our learning solutions create an open debate and exchange of ideas, bringing specific actions and key initiates that can help reputation managers to stay ahead of the curve.
A Learning Partner for Business Transformation
Our clients require a learning partner that moves at the same pace of the change they face, helping them mitigate the risks associated with it.
We are the best-placed learning partner to help clients embrace change, define a new purpose, navigate complex landscapes and drive behaviour change.
