Corporate Wisdom is a consultancy
with deep expertise in CEO and senior executive transition and development.
Powerful wisdom backed by experience
We work with individuals and senior teams using proven principles and methodologies that transform leadership performance.
This work is vital because the world has become faster and more complex.
We are facing new frontiers in geopolitics and technology. A diversity of follower needs and expectations must be considered. Product life cycles have decreased in many industries. AI provides new opportunities and attendant risks. The need for productivity and performance has increased. Leaders operate in an environment with greater transparency than ever before.
Today’s pace and complexity demands more of leaders. A clear mind, with laser focus, is centred and finds a steady path to opportunity.
Centredness provides a space to listen to different perspectives, and to engage with head and heart. Clarity provides the space for leaders to connect with why they do the work they do, and what it means for their leadership.
The leadership blueprint
At the core of our leadership consulting and programs is the Leadership Blueprint.
Many senior executives and teams have found it to be integral to their development. We use it in partnership with executives and teams to coach and advise, to determine where to apply diagnostics, where to focus efforts and where to track results. Our experience of working in-depth with over 60 teams enables us to hone our efforts for relevance and impact.
What leaders do, matters. Who they are matters even more because it drives what they do.
HOW WE WORK
Our work encourages leaders to explore the transformational levels of values, beliefs, needs and perceptions.
In working with us, leaders find the space to expand and reimagine their perspectives about challenges and opportunities. Previously unseen approaches emerge, and shifts in perspective are matched with practical actions. The experience of working in an organisation is shifted. Talent realises its highest imagined possibility.
At Corporate Wisdom, we live and work by the philosophy that objectivity, self-governance and staying authentic to true values are foundational to leadership. Those who know and govern themselves are able to lead people and sustainably govern teams and organisations.
We partner with CEOs, emerging CEOs, leadership teams, and high-potential executives to help them navigate complexity and achieve their full capability.
