Xynteo’s Leadership Vanguard helps executives become skilled at understanding complex systems and managing collaborative efforts for a new kind of growth.
The Leadership Vanguard is a uniquely immersive leadership development experience that empowers senior leaders to influence systems and accelerate future-fit business models.
We believe that many of the problems we’re now witnessing around the world exist because large organisations struggle to reinvent themselves and address the inadequacies of our growth model. In our view, this inertia is the result of three leadership deficits:
The Vanguard is designed to help leaders evolve the way they operate in systems – and help them see how they can change those systems to be fit for purpose in tomorrow’s world. We design the programme to enable leaders to apply the VUCA skills, insights and networks they build to their own organisations, helping them see the world differently. Ultimately this will help their organisations to be capable of thriving in very different scenarios.
Over the year, executives work closely with participants from diverse global organisations to:
-
investigate future threats and opportunities within several global themes
-
deepen their understanding and experience of systemic challenges within these themes in frontier markets
-
understand and analyse the innovative impact enterprises addressing these systemic challenges, including the market system, value chain and management challenges they face
-
identify pathways to scale, and design interventions to accelerate impact enterprises and influence the evolution of the systems within which they work
The programme is delivered by a team from Xynteo, complemented by subject matter experts, experienced mentors and thought leaders from around the world, and guided by an advisory board representing the programme’s partners. Xynteo’s Vanguard Programme Director, James Beresford, is passionate about the role that leaders and business can play in creating a better future for all. James has deep experience in designing and delivering leadership development experiences for organisations around the world.
