Think you don’t have time to take a week out of your busy diary for the Wavelength USA experience? I did. Think again, this is truly a remarkable experience that left me with a long list of insights, practical tips and emerging business and technology themes where I need to probe deeper. Even better, I met a range of peers from different industries and countries who really challenged my thinking. Outstanding.
The chance to interact with peers outside of their own industry circles is one of things that our clients say they most value about our leadership programmes.
Breakthrough moments happen when you step outside of your own sphere of experience and look at your challenges through a different lens.
We attract executive level leaders, usually with significant operational responsibility. They may have job titles such as CEOs, COOs, CPOs, CFOs, Managing Directors and EVPs. In most cases these are the leaders who are destined for the top; the next board directors. These are leaders with a desire to explore their own leadership style and the need to adapt that style in times of rapid change.
Case Studies
Wavelength case studies and testimonial quotes provide you with a bird’s eye view of how our global study tours and leadership programmes have landed for our clients. Most of our clients have very specific leadership challenges and will view their Wavelength experience with these in mind. We curate conversations and meetings to maximise the relevance of our leadership programmes so our clients can return to base with the ideas, contacts and confidence to meet their challenges and make and manage change.
As part of our ongoing pursuit of excellence we regularly measure our impact through our Impact Report. In addition, we interview clients about their Wavelength experience and publish it as a full case study. We love this open and honest feedback. It helps us to gauge the value of our programmes now – and gives us a great steer on how we can best help our clients in the future with the most relevant types of programmes, best host organisations to visit and global tour locations.
Clients we've inspired
Inspire makes you lift your head, look out, and consider what the future holds. Learning from international leaders challenges usual thinking patterns and stimulates you to consider what is the art of the possible for your own organisation.
Wavelength's application, thinking and diversity of learning from leaders was transformative. Our peer group on the USA programme was first class and relationships were built across the globe. The application of what we learnt at an executive and board level was invaluable.
The best organisation I have ever visited. It is already having a profound effect on how we scale our impact and transform young people’s lives.
Innovation is what we, as a company, pride ourselves on. Our ability to think differently is what keeps us ahead, so going into the trip that’s what I was looking for. A new perspective. And I got it. The programme’s unique structure gives us genuinely immersive experiences inside a broad spectrum of extraordinary companies. We witness first-hand how the best-of-the-best operate around, for example, product development, customer experience or people and culture. The focus is on interpretation of principles over execution, in order to stimulate fresh thinking that can begin to shift the dial from the very first day we return to HQ. If you’re not operating from the outside in, you become very isolated in your thinking. Looking at companies that have absolutely nothing to do with what you’re doing day to day helps to make that mindset shift.
Adrian’s presentation to my top team was truly excellent. He speaks with such authority, gravitas and insight about the key issues in leadership and business - service, innovation, disruption and resilience. The leadership team at Metro Bank are very busy people - so if we give up our time to listen to an outside speaker it better be good. And Adrian was very good indeed.
