Format

For a single organisation or cohorts brought together from across government and the public sector

Approach

CPD-accredited and tailored to your organisational or wider government priorities

The programme can bring together leaders from different ministries, departments, agencies or public-sector organisations. This can be useful where administrations want to develop leaders across organisational boundaries or where numbers within one organisation are too small for a standalone programme.

If you are considering this programme for your organisation or a wider government cohort, tell us about the leaders you want to support, your priorities and your preferred delivery timeframe. We will review your enquiry and come back to you with the most useful next step.
