Breakthrough Accelerators & Navigational Check-Ins: Cementing Transformation in your Leadership Development Programme
There is no Breakthrough without Follow-Through
Our Breakthrough Accelerators and Navigational Check-Ins are an essential follow-up to our Leadership Development Programmes. After completing a Wave 1 Exec or Leaders Intensive Programme, or a Wave 2 Business Activation Intensive Programme, the initial surge of energy and momentum can naturally wane over time.
Accelerators and Navigational Check-ins are designed to combat this decline by embedding sustainable change, ensuring that the Breakthrough Mindset© continues to drive progress long after the Programme ends. Tailored to your organization’s needs, these bespoke initiatives help maintain and accelerate growth through the use of specific Breakthrough Tools©, behaviours, and ways of working.
Accelerators Check Ins: the 101
Accelerators are structured follow-up sessions that take place approximately 6-8 months after an initial Intensive Programme to ensure continuous progress. Their goal is to sustain momentum and ensure that progress continues by addressing real-time business challenges. Accelerators are highly focused on enabling leaders to work on their business rather than in it, ensuring strategic objectives stay on track. These Programmes are designed to deliver breakthroughs, transform obstacles, and realign the organization’s vision. The in-person sessions offer peer-to-peer engagement and provide opportunities to reset leadership intentionality.
Benefits of Accelerator Programmes:
- Focused on sustaining business growth and strategy alignment,
- Energises leadership with a renewed Breakthrough Mindset,
- Provides a peer-to-peer environment for course corrections and continuous development,
- Delivered in person.
Navigational Check-Ins
Navigational Check-Ins are shorter, more frequent touchpoints, typically held 60-90 days after an Intensive Programme. These virtual sessions provide ongoing guidance without the need for extensive travel or logistics, making them cost-effective and time-efficient. Their purpose is to keep your Leadership Development Programme on track, allowing businesses to course-correct as needed, target key themes, and ensure that transformation efforts continue to build momentum.
Benefits of Navigational Check-Ins:
- Cost-effective and environmentally friendly, with no travel required
- Time-efficient, with quick and simple planning
- Ideal for real-time adjustments to maintain strategic growth and transformation momentum
Both Accelerators and Navigational Check-Ins are integral to ensuring the success of an Intensive Programme, each offering unique benefits to support sustainable business transformation.
Why Are These Programmes Important?
A combination of Accelerators and Navigational Check-Ins are critical in maintaining momentum by reinforcing the cultural and strategic shifts introduced during the initial Organizational Development Programme. By aligning with your business cycle, they keep your teams engaged, performance-driven, and focused on delivering long-term, sustainable results. They are essential for embedding high-performance cultures, maintaining accountability, and ensuring that strategic goals are met.
Breakthrough Results
Wrigley
For over a century the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company successfully built its global business. By 2000, their annual business growth rate had slowed to as little as 2% in the US and slightly more to 5% in Europe and Asia. There was little focus on innovation, with new products contributing approximately 5% of total sales. The team operated in silos that stymied knowledge transfer and collaboration across regions and functions. Wrigley’s organisational culture was risk-averse and lacked the ability to capitalise on opportunities for growth.
Costa Coffee
Costa Coffee, the world’s second-largest coffeehouse chain, faced significant challenges following multiple acquisitions and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite a passionate workforce, misaligned priorities and leadership transitions stalled progress.
