Why do we offer bespoke courses?

We develop customised courses for organisations, partnerships, sectors or places. We deliver leaders who can work together.

Our clients like us for:

Our roots in Common Purpose - the energy and inspiration this gives our work, the credibility and diversity of our supporters and the local base, combined with the international reach, which it provides.
Our staff - their passion for our work.
Our creativity - the innovative solutions we have for developing leaders which are drawn from the many countries and sectors we work with.
Our street smart approach - the practical and real elements we bring to experiential learning.
Our collaboration - how we partners with our clients. We adapt to their needs. We can fit in with their plans or develop new ones together. But we also know what we do well and stick to it.

For more information about customised course options and locations, email Joanna.stansfeld@commonpurpose.org or ring +44 (0)207 608 8104.

Who are customised courses for?

We have worked with a wide range of organisations, partnerships, sectors and places, from multinationals to local regeneration partnerships. We have inspired boards, top teams, local managers and high potential individuals. We have contributed to team events and strategy retreats. We have helped with internal agendas and external debates.

Participants can expect to:

Grasp why collaboration is essential when delivering deep sustainable complex change.
Understand when their own language, behaviour and biases can get in the way of their leadership.
Learn how to lift to collaboration (not lower to compromise), reconcile diverse worlds and set the pace for change.
Discover what context they are operating in, both locally and internationally.

Customised courses can offer:

Collaboration
We tailor the collaborative experience to suit your issues and stakeholders so that you can practice collaboration and learn from the experience.
Pitstops
Take time out - refresh, refill - by going to unfamiliar places and working with different people.
Creativity
Challenge your team to use the diversity within it to spot different angles and come up with new ideas.
Immersion experiences
Go deep under the surface on an unfamiliar issue, in a different place, and seek out new solutions.

Or a combination of all of the above.

Where are customised courses delivered?

We can deliver in any country in which Common Purpose operates and many countries in which we have links.

For more information on where we deliver, please contact Joanna.stansfeld@commonpurpose.org or ring +44 (0)207 608 8104.

What is the cost of a customised course?

Customised courses are completely bespoke and costs vary depending upon the brief. Once we have developed the ideas to meet your needs and requirements, we will propose the fee.
