However, as experts rise through the ranks of the organization, they are increasingly asked to lead other experts, typically outside their area of expertise. We call this the journey from Expert to Orchestrator. 

The Expert to Orchestrator workshops assist leaders to demystify strategic leadership so they can succeed in the challenging transition from expert into the leadership of others. The Expert to Orchestrator tool is based upon the Competitive Advantage Accelerator, used by global leading organizations and the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. It includes peer benchmarking to give data-driven personalized insights on how leaders should focus their time and talents for maximum strategic impact. 

Group analytics to support development

Group analytics are also available for organizations to identify and address development needs for groups and key areas of the business.
