Empowering Leaders for Organizational Impact — Acumen Strategy Consultants

Acumen designed a multi-modal executive development program for the conglomerate's top 100 leaders across multiple BUs, combining Harvard cases, expert speakers, activities, and action planning workshops to surface challenges, promote dialogue for the purpose of strengthening organizational leadership capabilities.

The challenge

The conglomerate aims to elevate the capability of its top C-Suite and senior leaders across multiple business units. They want to surface key challenges and foster cross-functional learning through an executive development program (EDP) that could be sustained in the long-term.

What we did

Acumen designed a dynamic program blending modalities for maximum impact. We:

Delivered Harvard cases to sharpen strategic thinking
Featured expert speakers on timely topics like Organization Strength, the Power of Brand and Execution Excellence
Ran action planning workshops or fun activities like Lego Serious Play to challenge thinking or turn insights into actionable steps.
Closed with plenary reflections for shared dialogue

The impact

Real challenges from different BUs came to light, discussed openly by peers. Leaders reflected on org development and brand principles, debated strategies, and crafted next steps—elevating leadership and access to shared resources.

In their words

[Strengths include] strong project management skills, ability to provide insights on how to elevate the conference, and access to resources such as speakers and cases.
