How we work
Most executive development programs stack theory on top of theory. Ours strips leadership down to the decisions that actually matter — then rebuilds habits around them. Every engagement follows four deliberate phases, each calibrated to the complexity of your organisation.
We interview key stakeholders, review decision-flow data and map the informal power structures that shape your culture. This phase typically surfaces two or three blind spots that no engagement survey would reveal — patterns like risk-averse consensus loops or siloed information hoarding that quietly erode strategic agility.
A two- or three-day residential program held away from the office. Participants work through live case studies drawn from their own organisation, not generic Harvard scenarios. We use structured debate, real-time feedback loops and role-reversal exercises that force leaders to confront their default decision patterns and practise alternatives under pressure.
Back in the workplace, each participant commits to one leadership experiment — a specific change in how they run meetings, delegate authority or handle conflict. Fortnightly coaching calls keep momentum high while our facilitators observe real meetings and provide candid, private feedback on leadership behaviour as it unfolds.
At the 90-day mark we reassess decision quality, team engagement and strategic velocity using the same diagnostic framework from phase one. This before-and-after comparison gives boards and HR leaders concrete evidence of return on investment — not just anecdotal enthusiasm, but quantifiable behavioural shifts.
What we offer
Whether you need to align a newly formed executive team, prepare high-potential directors for the C-suite or rebuild trust after a leadership crisis, we have a format that fits. Each program is customised; these are starting frameworks, not rigid products.
A three-day residential for executive teams of four to twelve. Ideal when a new CEO takes the helm, after a merger, or whenever the team needs to recalibrate how it makes decisions together. Includes 360-degree behavioural profiling and a 90-day coaching runway.
3 days + 90-day follow-up
A six-month individual program for senior managers on the cusp of executive appointment. Covers board-level communication, strategic risk judgement and stakeholder influence. Each participant is paired with a mentor who has held a C-suite role for at least a decade.
6 months · individual
Designed for teams recovering from internal conflict, restructuring or reputational damage. Two days of facilitated dialogue using restorative-practice frameworks, followed by monthly check-ins for six months. Confidential and carefully structured so that honesty feels safe.
2 days + 6-month supportCommon questions
MBA programs teach theory across many disciplines. Our executive leadership training focuses exclusively on the behavioural habits that drive better decisions in your specific organisational context. There are no exams, no grades — only observable changes in how you lead. We work with your real challenges, not textbook cases, and our facilitators have each held senior leadership roles themselves.
Our clients range from mid-market companies with 200 employees to ASX-listed enterprises with thousands. The common thread is not size but complexity — organisations where leadership decisions ripple across multiple teams, geographies or regulatory environments. If your leaders are making high-stakes calls under ambiguity, this program is relevant.
Yes. While our home base is in South Australia, we regularly facilitate intensives in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Auckland. We have also delivered programs in Singapore and London for Australian companies with offshore leadership teams. Travel and venue costs are quoted separately.
We use a pre-and-post diagnostic that tracks decision velocity, stakeholder alignment scores and team-reported psychological safety. These metrics are gathered at intake and again at 90 days. For clients who opt into our 12-month tracking, we also correlate leadership behaviour changes with business KPIs such as employee retention, project delivery speed and revenue growth.
Pricing depends on program length, cohort size and the depth of diagnostic work involved. As a guide, the Catalyst Intensive for a team of eight typically falls between AUD 4,500 and AUD 7,000 per participant including the 90-day coaching runway. Individual Director-Ready Accelerator engagements start at AUD 12,000 for the six-month program. We provide a detailed proposal after an initial scoping conversation.
