Programmes

Systems Leadership Academy

Develop your ability to act with others on issues that cross organisational boundaries.

Who it is for

Leaders and practitioners working across a place, partnership, or service system, where progress depends on people who answer to different organisations.

What participants do

  • Work on a real system issue with other participants.
  • Examine purpose, power, relationships, and different perspectives.
  • Practise convening, inquiry, and intervention, and review the effects of action.

Format and continuation

Bespoke and partnership cohorts are designed around the work, with facilitated sessions, application between sessions, and peer learning. The design and final fee are agreed for the cohort. The programme should leave participants with a shared inquiry, practical next actions, and relationships that support continued work.

Discuss a programme

Tell us who needs to take part, the live issue they are working on, and your intended timing. We will agree the design, faculty, commitment, and fee before booking.
