Executive Leadership Development Program Curriculum

Here is a peek of what you can expect. But know that each year’s agenda is built fresh, based on what the industry is facing.

Management Team Leadership
A live business simulation where your team runs a company and sees the consequences of every decision immediately.

Ropes Course
A series of group challenges built to test trust, communication, and collaboration under pressure — and to put you outside your comfort zone alongside people who will be there when you are. Mentally and physically engaging; not designed to be physically strenuous.

Leadership Presence: Making the Connection
For anyone who wants to be more effective the moment they open their mouth. A hands-on session on public speaking and connecting with a room.

Strategy Today
How to link leadership principles to strategic decisions in a shifting landscape.

Decision Making and Leadership Case Study
Frameworks and analytical tools for the calls that carry real risk and real reward, pressure-tested against case studies and simulations.

Attracting and Inspiring a Changing Workforce
Why do people join your company? What makes them stay? Where do we get it wrong about a career in grocery? An honest conversation with those who have studied the question.

Personal Leadership Development Plans
Guided self-reflection that produces something tangible: a written roadmap for your growth as a leader.

Forecast for the Future
An interactive close where the cohort builds its own consensus forecast for the industry and then designs the strategies to meet it.
