Leadership Development Program
Blended Learning Approach
Leadership development does not happen through theoretical learning alone.
Our blended approach combines high quality online learning modules with individual fieldwork followed by group work.
This cycle of Learn -> Act -> Reflect runs on a three week cycle and is repeated for 6 modules.
Week 1 - Content
-
Participants individually complete online module
-
Participants take notes and complete the exercises in their workbooks.
Week 2 - Fieldwork
-
Participants individually undertake fieldwork assignment.
Week 3 - Group work
-
Participants meet in Action Learning Groups (ALGs) for reflection on fieldwork and for peer coaching.
Program Introduction & Structure
HRO Re-invented
Weick and Sutcliffe’s book, Managing the Unexpected, is essential reading for anyone embarking on a HRO journey.
The EvolvedHRO™ modules are themed around their five principles. But don’t expect the regurgitation of Weick and Sutcliffe’s work that most HRO programs provide. EvolvedHRO™ reinvents High Reliability Organisations as a function of change leadership; providing the tools a leader needs to transform their organisation.
Content Example
Each online module consists of four to six videos interspersed with exercises and other readings. Here is one of the four videos for Module 2.

Module 4
Sensitivity to Operations

Module 5
Deference to Expertise
Explores the critical differences in how leaders use expertise dependent on the complexity of the operating environment, positioning the leadership necessary for sustainable high performance.
