The program runs around the world in key regional locations In the USA, Europe and South East Asia. 25 participants take part in each program, and a Program Director facilitates the whole program and is supported by faculty specialists on key topics of strategy, change, customer satisfaction, finance and leadership. In addition there are evening events with guest speakers, often from other parts of the business. The Insights Discovery� instrument is used as part of the program to deepen the learning experience of participants.

They present their results during the third and final module to colleagues and sponsors. Results The sponsors and line manages of participants report improved performance. From the first of these programs, which completed in mid-2007, 80% of participants have since been promoted. |
