Every hour has a high alternative value for top managers. It is a constant checking if anything else is more important to deal with. The use of each hour also makes a big impact as a signal to the organization. Employees look at top managers’ calendars to get answers. Which are the most important issues to focus on? Who are important to talk to and listen to? And what is talk and what is real action?

Development programs for people aspiring for top management positions have to cope with this crucial aspect of time prioritization. A proven way to design these type of programs is the Business Driven Action Learning method. It is a method that develops your business and competitiveness, and at the same time accelerate individual learning and organizational change.

Real business assignments and real results

Putting together 15-20 of your best people and challenging them to challenge the company within selected strategic areas, can solve many of your needs regarding new ideas, buy-in, cooperation, sharing of best-practice, speed and results. It also is a way for the top to better get to know their best people and vice versa.

BDAL is a structured process that includes things like outside-in interviews with best-in-class companies in other industries as well as coaching in teamwork, learning and presentation. Programs are tailor-made to each company’s development needs. The prerequisite is an executive management team that is open about not having all answers to the strategic challenges ahead and who is willing to invite the next level to work with them.

More managers with the CEO perspective

The big value for the participants is that they increase their effectiveness  with a better personal network, a better insight in the whole operation, and a better understanding of their own cooperation and communication skills. They also get a unique opportunity to make a major impact on the company’s strategy and future.

Accelerated business development and growth

The big value for the company is more effective leaders, improved cross-border cooperation, and accelerated business development and growth.

The key to this kind of program is a top management team that believes in the value of this type of learning and that is committed to supporting it. Plus 15-20 really engaged managers who are prepared to put in extra work hours for some months. And also an experienced facilitator who can guide the top and coach the teams.
