WIG Senior Leaders Programme

"The programme has been extremely thought provoking, often challenging and highly valuable."

(Andy Page, Purchasing Director, Rolls-Royce Deutschland)

What is the WIG Senior Leaders Programme?

The WIG Senior Leaders Programme is an action learning programme which runs from June to March each year. The programme offers a unique and stimulating cross-sector learning environment for senior leaders from private sector companies, central government, local authorities and voluntary organisations. Our experience shows that leadership development in a cross-sector forum enriches the debate and provides a wider variety of perspectives and solutions than would be found in a single-sector programme.

Benefits of the programme

The WIG Senior Leaders Programme is a flexible cross-sector learning experience that delivers real benefits for both individuals and organisations. These include:

• an enhanced understanding of, and lasting links with, other sectors, encompassing a wide range of professions and organisations
• a practical impact on individual and organisational challenges, through exposure to broader perspectives and constructive challenge, within a supportive environment
• enhanced leadership skills through working with, and learning from, a diverse and high calibre group of senior leaders
• an opportunity to enhance in-house development programmes.

Who is the programme for?

The programme is for senior leaders who are running organisations or key divisions/functions within large organisations. To get the best out of the programme, all participants will need to be:

• Open to sharing experiences and to listening to and learning from others
• Keen to develop a more flexible leadership style
• Willing to be challenged and to constructively challenge others
• Looking ahead to future leadership roles or challenges that will require a step change in performance and personal impact
• Committed to attending all seven modules.
