Newton, a UK-based specialist in operational improvement, partnered with Impact to develop the leadership capacity of their business managers.
The Leadership Development Programme (LDP) is an award-winning, custom-designed, three-module development journey for business managers at Newton.
The programme supports participants in developing and deepening their capacity to provide emotionally intelligent leadership action that will foster the sustainable development and growth of Newton’s people and business, maintaining the unique high-performance culture.
A consultancy themselves, Newton appreciated the consultative approach that Impact brought to the solution development process for the Leadership Development Programme. We used our consulting framework, ‘Solution Mapping’ to deeply understand the business change outcomes that Newton was looking to achieve through the LDP and focus our experiential approach toward each specific goal.
The objective of this programme is to build a network of ‘ready now’ leaders with the capabilities and confidence to lead at the next level.
The programme aims to develop leadership capacity in relation to leading self, leading others and leading the business. There is a relentless emphasis on experiential and pragmatic learning that challenges participants to examine their leadership practice in alignment with the unique culture at Newton.
In their exploration of leadership, participants develop:
The solution combines powerful face-to-face leadership development modules, 1:1 coaching and inter-modular activity. This includes video diaries, meetings with stakeholders, 360 feedback, reading, research and participation in Impact’s bespoke team feedback tool (TPI©).
Prior to the first meeting participants have 1:1 coaching to focus in on personal challenges and aspirations.
The success of the programme was recognised at the Training Journal Awards 2018, where it was announced as the Gold Winner in the Leadership Development Programme category.
