The LEAD networking model is based on more than 20 years of work with the most current research and practical experience in workshop facilitation, leadership and organizational development and course design. We always practice value-based consulting that creates lasting change for our partners.

Your development programme at LEAD therefore differs from other network-based programmes in that there is always a facilitator present with a unique depth of expertise and that we always work with the topics that are most relevant to you, your organization and our public sector as a whole. As opposed to being a pure networking group where the main element is sparring, we always focus on how your participation in the course contributes to your leadership through action learning. We do this regardless of the topic by always focusing on the status, challenges and solutions in

• the latest research and practical methods
• in your organization and your sphere of influence
• in your personal leadership

We always focus on what you as a top manager need to work on and succeed with over the next 6-12 months, so we can target your efforts and focus on what the task calls for in terms of leadership. As a top manager in the public sector, you need to be able to handle a number of difficult tensions and balances. You need to be flexible and accommodating to the changing wishes of politicians and changing needs and conditions in an increasingly complex and changing environment, where sudden crises (both internal and external) are the new normal. This places new demands on building capacity for organizational resilience while creating the framework, leaning in and being open to cross-functional collaboration with other disciplines, departments, organizations and sectors while taking clear responsibility within your own management hierarchy.

Together, we can test theses and ideas in a management laboratory before mobilizing the knowledge and experience from the course into actionable solutions close to your practice.
