2. Leadership development
for fast-growth
technology organisations
The number one challenge facing fast-growing
technology companies is sustainable
leadership, especially when leadership
development is not seen as a high priority.
Specialising in Leadership
We have over 25 years’ experience in developing leaders for
companies like P&G and Accenture,
Our passion now lies with mid-sized and successful tech
companies, typically those who turnover in excess of £10 million
and have 60 plus employees.
We leverage your leadership talent so you can deliver your
organisation strategy, drive results and realise your vision.
We have shown that focusing on leadership development
delivers an uplift of 300% or more on investment.
Example: Avanade was a successful joint venture between Accenture and
Microsoft. A fast-growing technology company, it ran headlong into some
unique challenges. They grew quickly because of brilliant technologies,
products and solutions but 100 employees later, growth stalled.
We identified that fast-growing, high-tech companies face three key
leadership challenges (the three Cs).

3. Your key leadership
challenges
1. Capacity
You don’t have
enough leaders
at all levels of the
organisation.
2. Capability
The leaders you
do have lack
experience, skills
and confidence
to grow the
organisation.
3. Culture
You don’t have a
strong leadership
culture that
attracts and
grows talent.

4. The LEADER Programme
We deliver the proven LEADER Programme, a
practical six-step system for developing leaders
in fast-growing companies. It develops a
strong, sustainable leadership culture in your
organisation and develops authentic leaders with
the skills and confidence to grow the business.

Director, People Strategies Ltd.
I am so pleased
that you have
broken down the
development process
into more than one
component. I love the
simplicity it provides.

6. Our client journey
We support you all the way with high-quality
coaching, training and facilitation from our
team of experts. Our client journey starts with
a 30-minute Discovery Call to discuss your
leadership needs and priorities.
We discuss what you’re trying to achieve in your organisation and what
that means for leadership development. You’ll gain clarity on the real
problem, its importance to the business and what you need to address it.

7. If needed, we’ll recommend a 90-minute in-depth Strategy Session with a
key sponsor. We will drill down into the specific needs of your organisation.
You will:
• Get clarity over what your organisation is trying to
achieve and the role leaders need to play in that
• Uncover the inhibitors that are keeping you from
developing the leaders you need
• Discover tools and frameworks that will help you
develop leaders and create a leadership culture.
(Optional) 90-minute Strategy Session
We may then recommend either a half, one or two-day strategy workshop
with your leadership team. This is a full-blown strategy session to help you
make key decisions and agree actions. As a result of this workshop you will:
• Develop a clear picture of future leadership for your organisation
• Gain a common understanding of where you are now
in terms of developing your leaders and agreement
over what’s working and what needs to change
• Agree what needs to happen to get from where
you are to where you want to be
• Commit to a route map and action plan to bridge the gap
(Optional) Strategy Workshop
Based on what we learn, we will design a Development Programme for your
leaders. The Programme may involve coaching, training, facilitation or a
combination. The programme will:
• Engage, retain and develop your best people
so you build leadership capacity
• Develop leadership capability, giving leaders skills
and confidence to engage in the vision
• Create a thriving, sustainable leadership culture of
innovation and growth
