Supporting the succession planning and future resilience of your organisation.

Leadership is an ongoing journey where learning and applying new skills and behaviours, and changing old for new, takes time and effort.

Strategic business momentum requires investment in the development of the next generation of senior managers, key leaders and potential directors.

First introduced by Acorn in 1998, the Next Generation Leadership Programme has evolved over subsequent years and is recognised as a proven approach which supports the development of future leaders.

Delivered to cohorts of up to a maximum of twelve participants over a 2-year period, the Next Generation Leadership Programme has consistently delivered positive outcomes for individuals and their organisation.

The programme presents an opportunity to accelerate participants’ development as a senior leader, underpinned by a foundation of high self-awareness and clarity of one’s strengths and key areas of development.

Participation in the Next Generation Leadership Programme enables a greater understanding of the challenges an individual may face in their future leadership roles, and provides proven techniques and approaches to managing organisational change.

Next Gen is a blended approach, with development implemented commencing with 360° feedback based on the company’s capabilities and values.

Initial development review meetings identify and agree leadership development goals with a series of one-day workshops to ensure relevance.

One-to-one leadership coaching focuses on supporting and challenging participants to maximise strengths, identify and work on development needs, and to transfer development into the workplace.

Action learning focuses on developing group and individual problem solving, directly working to build and implement company initiatives.

At completion, there is a final celebration with a personal presentation by each participant to illustrate the learning and development that has occurred in regards to leadership and understanding business improvement.
