Read more about the model, the modules and practical delivery below

Leadership in practice is a modular development programme for middle-management teams, typically of 8–12 people. It is an intensive, tightly packed leadership training programme that opens with a hands-on 1½-day residential course, including improvised overnight stays under the stars — outdoor action learning from the very first hour. Leadership in Practice can also be booked as a standalone course of about two days.

Head, Hands and Heart at the core

The programme offers something for the head, something for the hands and something for the heart — the three H's that form the backbone of the leadership training we have delivered in a number of Danish companies.

Both the practical experience and the underlying theory are in place: the programme builds on more than 20 years of experience with leadership development, gained under some of the most demanding conditions and in successful organisations.

Can be extended as needed

The modules can be extended with finance training for non-financial managers and with the particularly demanding 3½-day programme we call execution. The programme can also be delivered abroad through OLTC, where conditions are tougher and the learning correspondingly sharper.
