Build Lasting Capability

Leadership Development

Targeted workshops and culture change programs tailored to your context. Using validated tools like LSI, OCI and Hogan to understand where you are and build the capability to get where you need to be.

Building Capability, Not Dependency

Too much leadership development creates dependency on external consultants. The goal should be to build internal capability that lasts long after the engagement ends.

That means focusing on practical skills people can apply immediately, using frameworks they can teach to others, and creating resources that live on in the organisation.

I work with your context, not against it. Generic programs rarely stick. The best development is tailored to your industry, your strategy, your challenges, and your culture.

The Approach

  • Tailored to your specific context and challenges
  • Practical skills that can be applied immediately
  • Validated assessment tools for clear diagnosis
  • Focus on sustainable behaviour change
  • Build internal capability, not dependency
Assessment Tools

Understanding Where You Are

Effective development starts with clear diagnosis. I use validated assessment tools to understand thinking patterns, personality dynamics, and organisational culture.

Life Styles Inventory (LSI)

Measures individual thinking patterns that influence leadership effectiveness. Helps leaders understand how their style affects relationships and results.

Applications:

  • • Individual coaching
  • • Leadership development
  • • 360-degree feedback

Hogan Assessments

Personality assessment that identifies strengths, potential derailers under pressure, and core values. Particularly useful for selection and development.

Applications:

  • • Leadership selection
  • • Derailment prevention
  • • High-potential identification

Organisational Culture Inventory (OCI)

Measures the current culture and the ideal culture. Identifies the gaps and provides a roadmap for culture change at scale.

Applications:

  • • Culture diagnosis
  • • Change measurement
  • • Merger integration

Culture Change

Shifting Organisational Culture

Culture change is hard. Most attempts fail because they focus on values posters and communication campaigns rather than the actual behaviours and systems that shape how work gets done.

The OCI (Organisational Culture Inventory) provides a research-backed methodology for understanding and shifting culture. It measures not just what people say the culture is, but what behaviours the organisation actually rewards and reinforces.

  • Quantitative measurement of current vs ideal culture
  • Clear identification of gaps and priorities
  • Connection to business performance outcomes
  • Roadmap for sustainable culture change
