Our Approach

Our approach to executive development is influenced by the context we operate in.  It can be said that in terms of leadership, we live in particularly interesting times, where it’s fair to say there’s a crisis of trust in the leadership of both our public and private sector organisations.  Our response to this, our guiding purpose, is to develop experienced managers towards critical thinking, to grow as reflexive leaders of organisational change, and ultimately repair some of the trust that has been lost in recent times.

Central to everything is our desire to facilitate executive development that makes a real, lasting impact on individuals, organisations and ultimately the wider community.  So our approach is to facilitate executive development whilst also conducting research at the same time, that then feeds into and enriches the learning that takes place, resulting in a greater impact on both individual and organisational objectives, i.e. ‘Management Research into Action’ (MaRia).
