THE WORLD'S MOST EFFECTIVE ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT METHODS

All of our done-with-you and done-for-you turnkey leadership solutions come with easily-measurable benchmarks, well-established best practices, and rapid deployment tools.
We combine cutting edge Action Learning (adult learning theory), micro learning (bite-sized lessons, videos and handouts), with best-in-class leadership frameworks, practices and tools, we guarantee you will get twice the results, in half the time at a fraction of the cost of any other leadership training or coaching program or your money back!

AI Strategy & Roadmap
We evaluate your business and technical readiness, identify high‑impact AI use cases and build a phased roadmap aligned with your goals. We start by assessing your organization’s business objectives, technical readiness, and competitive landscape to identify where AI can drive the most value. Through stakeholder interviews, process mapping, and market analysis, we surface high-impact use cases that align with your priorities. Then we develop a phased roadmap—balancing quick wins with long-term initiatives—that integrates seamlessly with your operations, culture, and governance. This blueprint becomes your north star for responsible, scalable, and strategically aligned AI adoption.
Quick Wins: Off‑the‑Shelf AI Implementation
We vet and deploy commercially available AI tools (chatbots, analytics, automation platforms) that deliver immediate value and prove the business case. Before committing to complex, costly builds, we help you capture immediate ROI through proven, commercially available AI solutions. We vet tools for quality, fit, and security—covering chatbots, analytics platforms, process automation, sales enablement, and more. Our team handles setup, customization, and integration so these tools deliver measurable results fast. These early successes build internal confidence, prove the business case, and lay the cultural and technical foundation for more advanced AI initiatives in the future.
Custom Bots & Intelligent Agents
Using platforms like Botpress and Make.com, we design and build bespoke bots and agents that automate workflows, enhance customer experiences and integrate with your systems. When off-the-shelf tools can’t fully address your needs, we design bespoke AI bots and intelligent agents using platforms like Botpress, Make.com, and custom API integrations. These solutions are tailored to your workflows—automating repetitive tasks, enhancing customer interactions, and unifying data from multiple systems. We focus on usability, scalability, and security so your custom solutions grow with your business. The result: faster processes, richer insights, and a differentiated experience for customers, employees, and stakeholders.
Change Management & Leadership Advisory
We work with your leadership team to manage the human side of AI adoption—addressing ethics, governance, talent development and organizational culture—to ensure sustainable success. AI adoption succeeds only when technology and people advance together. We partner with your leadership team to navigate the cultural, ethical, and governance challenges that accompany AI transformation. Our advisory approach blends change-management best practices with real-world leadership insight—addressing communication, role evolution, upskilling, and trust-building. We help you align AI initiatives with organizational values and strategy, ensuring that your workforce is engaged, prepared, and empowered to sustain success long after deployment.
Corporate Group Training & Coaching
The Accelerating Leadership Program is live, instructor-led, weekly, 1-hour training held on Zoom. Your team can be present together no matter where they are in the world.
Our cohorts are kept small (~10-20 students) to ensure individualized attention, guided exercises and practice, and time to ask questions to your most pressing leadership challenges.
We can also work with you to create a bespoke version of our program tailored for your organization's specific needs, values and goals.
Corporate One-on-One Coaching
Many of our leaders request One-on-One coaching to get tailored individual coaching in implementing the practices from our lessons, including receiving guidance on important strategic decision-making and actions critical for organizational success due to their role.
Strategy Sessions
We offer in person or virtual half, full-day, or several day strategy sessions to help you asses and strategize your most foundational and critical directions necessary for the success of your organization.

Three Essential Management Abilities
To provide additional granularity, the below section describes what you will learn in each of the three skill sets that correspond with each of the three "Essential Leadership Abilities." We begin with Strategy & Stakeholders...
STRATEGY & ALIGNMENT
To take your Strategy & Stakeholders performance to the next level, you will need to upgrade the tools and skills that you use to analyze organizational needs, establish the compelling vision, align stakeholders for maximum buy-in and commitment, and craft successful, evolving strategic plans.
