According to various studies, a significant portion of leadership development programs are considered to fail, with estimates ranging from 70% to 80% of programs not achieving their desired outcomes, meaning a large majority of leadership development initiatives are not considered successful. The 3 key reasons come down to lack of measurement, poor design and limited follow-up. Join us as we work through a framework that has consistently proven to have significant ROI for leaders and the culture shift our clients have been striving for. We’ll unlock 25 years of experience in program design to help you create investments that pay off.
